From rolling hills to bustling market towns, the South Downs National Park's landscapes cover 1,600km2 of breathtaking views and hidden gems. A rich tapestry of wildlife, landscapes, tranquillity and visitor attractions, weave together a story of people and place in harmony.

The South Downs National Park Authority (SDNPA) is the organisation responsible for promoting the purposes of the National Park and the interests of the people who live and work within it.

There are 15 national parks in the UK, areas designated for special protection because of their spectacular landscapes. Unlike national parks in other countries these are mostly farmed landscapes which support living, working communities as well as being here for everyone to visit and enjoy.

As a National Park, the SDNPA has two statutory purposes:
Purpose One: To conserve and enhance the natural beauty, wildlife and cultural heritage of the area.
Purpose Two: To promote opportunities for the understanding and enjoyment of the special qualities of the Park by the public.

Working in partnership with other Local Authorities and other organisations, we also have a duty to seek to foster the economic and social well-being of the local communities within the National Park.
