Cranborne Chase National Landscapecovers 380 sq miles of countryside overlapping the boundaries of Wiltshire, Dorset, Hampshire and Somerset. It is a diverse landscape offering areas of rolling chalk grassland, ancient woodlands, chalk escarpments, downland hillsides and chalk river valleys each with a distinct and recognisable character. The landscapes of Cranborne Chase today, as they were in the past, are extraordinarily rich. The Cranborne Chase National Landscape was designated as an Area of Outstanding Beauty in 1981 and the  Partnership’s primary aim is to ensure that these exceptional landscapes are conserved and enhanced for future generations.
