About Us

CPRE is a national charity that exists to promote the beauty, tranquillity and diversity of rural England. Our Patron is Her Majesty the Queen and our President is the poet Sir Andrew Motion.

CPRE has a branch in every county including Northumberland, which is England’s most rural county. The quality of the Northumberland landscape is highly valued by those who live here and certainly worth preserving for its own sake. It also complements an important historical legacy and brings economic benefits by attracting tourists to the area.

In Northumberland we aim to protect and promote our landscape and green spaces by:

Giving help and advice to residents worried about developments which may threaten the countryside.
Supporting green spaces in our towns and Green Belts around them.
Working constructively with Local Authorities to help build a future where all green spaces are cherished and protected.
Speaking to local groups and encouraging people to get involved.

CPRE is the only national organisation working exclusively to protect the countryside and we welcome the support of all who care about it. To find out more or get in touch please go to the Contact Us page.
