Archaeological finds day

The Blackdown Hills National Landscape partnership works to conserve and enhance the natural beauty of the this protected landscape. We provide information about the local history and natural environment, involve people and organisations in looking after the landscape, and encourage people to visit and enjoy the area.The Blackdown Hills National Landscape (the new name for the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty) is a tranquil and relatively isolated landscape, on the border of Devon and Somerset. The area is rich in wildlife and heritage. For many, it epitomises the English countryside, with hedgerows and copses, small farms with intricate field patterns, deep valleys and narrow, winding lanes.
