THE SOCIETY

The Stour and Orwell Society, set up in 2007, aims to preserve and enhance this Area of Oustanding Natural Beauty (AONB) working with local communities and the appropriate authorites. We are fortunate to live in or near to the Shotley Penisula and enjoy its delightful countryside

An Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is a landscape which is considered so precious that it is protected for the nation.
