Living in the AONB
| Nidderdale AONB is not just a fantastic place to
visit but is also the home and workplace to 15,000
people.
The economy of the AONB is dominated by
agriculture and tourism which together account for over 50% of
employment in the area. Although the
countryside in the AONB may seem wild and remote the majority is
farmland and in private ownership.
The community in the AONB is one of the things that makes the
area special. However, they face many challenges
from lack of affordable housing to increasing pressures on
agriculture. Nidderdale Area of Outstanding
Natural Beauty works closely with communities to ensure their
vibrant and sustainable future.
Everyone who lives in the AONB can play a
part in keeping the area special. Even small
actions contribute to the ongoing care of the
area.
