About the site

Located near St Columb Major, Castle an Dinas is one of Cornwall’s largest and most impressive hillforts. Special occasions have been marked here for centuries. For example, local people have gathered at the site for an annual midsummer ceremony since the 1970s in an echo of earlier traditions. The site was purchased by the charity in 1988.

This event is in aid of Cornwall Heritage Trust – the small, independent charity protecting Cornwall’s heritage for everyone.
