Ordnance Survey © Crown Copyright 2009

For information on each Landscape Description Unit (LDU) please click on the button next to the relevant number. You can download a PDF with a summary profile of the LDU. Please note that the profiles for Cornwall and Devon have different formats. Profiles for the Devon side of the AONB have a fuller character statement and key characteristics but do not include the summary of desk study information that is the basis of the Cornwall profiles. For a full explanation of the LDU attributes, e.g. Marine levels, Unsettled wildland, please see the Methodology and Glossary sections of the Technical report on the Cornwall website.  Click on the map above for a full PDF.
