The National Landscape is a small area, just 75km2, but its landscape inspires and enables production of a diversity of local food, drink and other products, such as timber, fuel and coppice products as well as art and crafts. The quality of the products made here matches the finest from across the UK. We want you to buy local whether you live here or come to visit, not only because it helps the local economy, but because we have so much to be proud of in our stunning area.
