Tourists love to visit AONB and so sustainable tourism is important if the natural beauty of these areas is not to be spoilt by visitors.
There are issues of visitor pressure, especially at 'honeypot' sites, such as the pretty villages of Bamburgh and Craster. Management of the AONB is designed to minimise the negative impacts of visitor pressure.
Tourist traffic in villages such as Bamburgh can be unsightly, can cause congestion and increased pollution and can lead to more road accidents. Keeping villages attractive for tourists and safe, sustainable places for local people to live and work means limiting the flow and speed of tourist traffic.
Until recently, the centre of Bamburgh village was badly congested on peak summer days such as August Bank Holiday. Local people and the local council wanted to rescue the village from being choked by traffic, while still wanting visitors to come, enjoy the village and spend their money in local businesses.
So the yellow no-waiting lines, which can spoil the look of a traditional village, are being removed. Instead, a simple, limited parking zone has been established in the centre of Bamburgh. The village green had become little more than a car-lined road junction. So, it is being restored to its role as an attractive focal point, making the village feel better to live in and to visit.
