I appreciate your query, but I need to clarify an important distinction based on the search results provided.
**Cornwall does not have a national park.** The search results indicate that Cornwall National Landscape (formerly known as Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, or AONB) is a **protected landscape designation, not a national park**[1][2]. These are different designations in the UK system.
The search results show that: - **Cornwall National Landscape** is an AONB covering approximately 370 square miles (958 sq. km), representing about one-third of Cornwall[1][4] - It consists of **12 separate sections**, making it unique among UK protected landscapes[1][4][5] - Eleven sections are coastal, with Bodmin Moor as the only inland section[1] - It was established in 1959 to protect outstanding natural landscapes[1]
The distinction matters: UK **National Parks** (like Dartmoor or Exmoor) operate under different governance and management structures than **National Landscapes** (formerly AONBs). The search results provided focus exclusively on Cornwall's AONB/National Landscape designation, not national parks.
