A number of East Devon teams have been recognised for their outstanding contribution in the South West Tourism Awards.

Volunteers and staff from the South West’s 20 protected landscapes received prizes at a recent gala evening for their work managing the region’s countryside. Among the recipients of the award were the East Devon AONB, the South West Coast Path and the Jurassic Coast Trust.

Chris Woodruff, of the AONB partnership, said: “It showcases the value these areas have to the economy in the South West.”
