South Devon, Upland and Upland Fringe

Author(s): Jeremy Lake

South Devon is a dissected, coastal plateau landscape with distinctive rias lying south of Dartmoor between the Bovey and the Tamar Rivers in south-west Devon. Of the area, 11% is urban and 8% is woodland. The area includes parts of Dartmoor National Park and both the South Devon and the Tamar Valley Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), which together cover 35% of the area. It also includes stretches of The South Devon Heritage Coast, and the Tamar Valley and Tavistock area of the Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape World Heritage Site.
