Our Sites

Cornwall Heritage Trust protects 18 historic sites spanning the breadth of Cornwall from Sancreed Beacon in the far west, to Dupath Well in the east. Our sites also cover a broad spectrum of history; from Neolithic remains such as Tregiffian Burial Chamber near Penzance, to the 19th Century Treffry Viaduct near Luxulyan.

All of these sites are open to the general public and free to enter throughout the year. 

While we are dedicated to protecting Cornwall’s historic landscapes for one and all (“Onan hag Oll”), it’s also important to us that people remain safe and treat the monuments and special places we care for with respect. People visit our sites at their own risk and are asked to follow the Countryside Code throughout. 

Many of these sites have uneven ground and slopes. Please wear sensible footwear and appropriate clothing.

Well-behaved dogs are welcome at all of our sites, however, we ask that they are kept on leads and that their owners clean up after them.
