East Devon, Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB)
The landscape of East Devon is largely man made, shaped by man's activities from prehistoric times to the present. However, the underlying geology has influenced this process.
The geology of the AONB ranges from the infertile Triassic sandstone of the pebble bed heaths in the west to the more fertile sandstones in the east, where agriculture predominates. In the east the landscape is made up of rocks from the Jurassic and Cretaceous period www.jurassiccoast.com
