  The North Cornwall team has the privilege and challenge of looking after, restoring and sharing with people some of the most beautiful and loved parts of the North Cornish coast. Strongly shaped by the prevailing Atlantic winds, much of our land comprises cliffs, beaches, coves, cliff top maritime grasslands and open farmland. There are some very special areas of woodland too. Our team of staff and volunteers delivers amazing land, buildings, heritage and wildlife conservation, whilst working to provide access for everyone. A can-do attitude and positive working with our sister teams looking after our let estate, shops, cafés and holiday cottages in North Cornwall creates a one-team approach.
