The term 'Sense of Place' is often used to describe your feelings for a place, and the elements that make that place special to you – it may be memories of past visits, views, sounds, people, tastes, even the smell of the place!
As part of its work on Sustainable Tourism the National Landscape team used the concept of a Sense of Place to achieve several aims:
- To agree on and promote the special qualities of the Forest of Bowland
- To provide consistent messages for all partners to use
- To increase awareness of what the area has to offer to visitors
- To develop a greater understanding of the geographical area covered by the National Landscape, and to create a loyalty to this area by residents and visitors
