Plans and Strategies
Clwydian Range and Dee Valley Sustainable Tourism Strategy
This provides a framework for developing sustainable tourism in the National Landscape – taking full account of the need to conserve the area’s special environment and heritage and maintain the quality of life of local communities.
Tourism Vision
This vision recognises;
- the increasing number of people participating in outdoor recreation which is placing increasing pressure on fragile and precious ecosystems
- the global and regional challenges arising from climate and nature emergencies
- the challenges facing the industry arising from the cost of living crisis and tourism trends post-Covid 19
- the proposed National Park status for an area including the CRDV NL.
This Vision recognises that the communities/culture, landscape and environment of the Clwydian Range and Dee Valley NL are central to the tourism offer of the region and defines how the management and delivery of tourism can promote and provide experiences of the uniqueness and beauty of the area whilst also protecting and enhancing its special qualities.
The CRDV NL Sustainable Tourism Action Plan (2023-2028) represents the beginning of the journey to achieving the vision. The activities outlined in the Action Plan represent a challenging but pragmatic start.
Climate Change Strategy
Landscape and Nature Recovery in a Changing Climate
From this page you can find out more about the work we are doing to tackle the climate and ecological emergencies, to improve our Green Infrastructure and to reduce flooding impacts through Natural Flood Management projects across the National Landscape.
Llangollen Green Infrastructure
A green guide has been published to generate ideas for improving a town’s environment.
The Clwydian Range and Dee Valley National Landscape has published an illustrated guide to the Llangollen Green Infrastructure (GI) initiative opportunities. Following on from the National Landscape’s 2021 publication, ‘Landscape and Nature Recovery in a Changing Climate’, the new guide looks at opportunities for adding to the existing GI network in Llangollen to managing, mitigating, and adapting to the threats posed by climate change.
Developed in consultation with the local community and led by the National Landscape’s climate change lead officer, the guide identifies six well known locations in the town and how they would benefit from GI additions. Each of the locations are linked together by a GI route which is a mainly traffic free green corridor which should encourage active travel.
The guide looks at the existing situation in the town, sets out the basic principles necessary to provide a joined-up network of green spaces which benefit the local ecosystem and recommends improvements for discussion which would realise the GI objectives. These include ecological improvements like tree and wildflower meadow planting and improved facilities such as path and signage improvements and sustainable drainage systems.
