Wheal Buzzy Recap

  • The primary legal purpose of our designation

is to

‘Conserve and enhance natural beauty’… also to ‘take account of the needs of agriculture, forestry, other rural industries and of the economic and social needs of local communities. Particular regard should be paid to promoting sustainable forms of social and economic development that in themselves conserve and enhance the environment’
