The Forest of Bowland Sense of Place Toolkit is a collection of examples and resources to help tourism businesses understand and benefit from the special qualities of this National Landscape.
The following resources are linked to the new Forsest of Bowland Sense of Place Toolkit and can be used in your business marketing. The original Toolkit was produced in 2016, we've now revised the Toolkit for 2020, so there is lots of new information and resources!
What is Sense of Place?
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 Unit 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
