Aune Head is a place...

...on Dartmoor, where the wild and boggy beginnings of the River Aune (or Avon) entrance the intrepid walker. On first sight, bleak and isolated. With a closer look, full of diverse life and rich potential... it flows out to sea at Bantham...

It was an inspiration to create an organisation about rural place, and about being open.
