Cornwall AONB
Designation
The areas were designated in 1959, except for the Camel estuary which was added in 1981. The list of designated areas is:
- Hartland (Morwenstow and Kilkhampton)
- Pentire Point to Widemouth
- Camel Estuary
- Trevose Head to Stepper Point (Bedruthan to Padstow)
- St Agnes
- Godrevy to Portreath
- West Penwith
- South Coast—Western (Lizard and Marazion to Helford River)
- South Coast—Central (Mylor and the Roseland to Porthpean)
- South Coast—Eastern (Par Sands to Looe)
- Rame Head
- Bodmin Moor
There are separate AONBs covering the Tamar Valley (which is partly in Cornwall and partly in Devon—the east bank of the river Tamar forms the boundary between Cornwall/Kernow and Devon), and the Isles of Scilly, which is administered for most purposes separately to Cornwall.

The Partnership meets twice a year to identify the prioritisation of action and the implementation of the Plan. The Partnership also has an advisory role, providing advice to Cornwall Council and other organisations on matters such as planning and project development. The Partnership is supported by a team of officers—the Cornwall AONB Unit who exist to administer the Partnership, undertake delivery, access resources, influence, enable and support Partner organisations in the delivery of the Management Plan.
The first Cornwall AONB Management Plan was adopted by the members of the Cornwall AONB Partnership in July 2004. The latest Cornwall AONB Management Plan, 2022-27, was adopted by Cornwall Council and the members of the Cornwall AONB Partnership in May 2022.
