Working for Clwydian Range & Dee Valley National Landscape

The Clwydian Range and Dee Valley National Landscape forms the dramatic upland frontier in North East Wales.

A National Landscape used to be called an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) until a name change in 2023.

It is a designated part of our landscape whose distinctive character, beauty, and cultural heritage are so precious that it is safeguarded in the national interest. Safeguarding is the protection and enhancement of the natural beauty, communities and businesses, and the unique architecture and archaeology of the area.

There are 46 Designated National Landscapes in the UK, and the Clwydian Range and Dee Valley is one of only 5 in Wales.
