Why are AONB’s so special?

AONBs are living and working landscapes where human activities are part of everyday life; villages thrive, the land is farmed, foresters are active, and people enjoy all aspects of the #countryside.

These ‘Protected Landscapes’ – along with UK National Parks – are in the world scale of landscape and environmental protection.

Bellorama’s initial site is proudly established within an AONB that covers areas of Hampshire and Wiltshire (Cranborne Chase) and is part of a global family of 6,555 protected areas, covering 12% of the earth’s surface, overseen by the World Commission on Protected Areas (WCPA) administered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).

Bellorama campsites proactively set out to align with the core principles within an AONB structure, to future proof the protection of British countryside and align with sustainable tourism goals within local rural environments.
