Country cottages in Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB)
We are fortunate to have a collection of Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) in the UK, 35 of which are in England, four in Wales and one which straddles the Welsh English border. The remainder are in Northern Ireland. There are 35 areas of outstanding natural beauty so too many to list here but some well known AONBs include the Chilterns and the Cotswolds.
Area of Oustanding natural beauty on the Welsh border
These Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty are protected so that future generations can enjoy them. A list and map of AONB can be viewed here showing their locations.
We have a selection of country cottages in and near these areas so that you can stay in a country location surrounded by beautiful scenery, go for pleasant walks and generally enjoy the best of the countryside.
