The Culm, Upland and Upland Fringe

Author(s): Jeremy Lake

This area lies between Exmoor and Dartmoor and includes a long section of Atlantic coast and hinterland in both Devon and Cornwall. It is generally open, sparsely populated, and agriculturally poor, with heavy soils. There are also more productive and intimate valley landscapes and a range of distinctive, farmed-landscape features. Less than 1% of the Character Area is urban; 10% is woodland. Under 10% of the Character Area falls within the North Devon and Cornwall Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and a very small percentage (1%) within the Dartmoor National Park.
