The Competition is organised by the South Devon AONB.

The Government confirmed South Devon as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on 2nd August 1960.

It was designated for its rugged cliff s, sandy coves, peaceful countryside, pretty villages, rolling hills and secretive estuaries. It’s an ancient countryside with generations of human activity etched onto the landscape. The area is a popular destination for visitors looking for all types of recreation and inspiration. It’s also a living and working landscape kept alive by farmers, foresters, fishermen and many local businesses.

The South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty covers 337 kilometres (130 square miles) of coastline, estuaries and countryside. It stretches from Berry Head in Brixham to Jennycliff in Plymouth. As well as being a place of fabulous views and fantastic countryside it is home to 34,000 people.
