Ensuring everyone can enjoy the historic landscapes and monuments that we care for is at the heart of everything we do. Improving accessibility to enable more people to engage with these places is a constant aspiration so we’ve installed resting places at a number of our larger landscape sites.
We are offering you the chance to have a dedication plaque installed on these benches to remember a loved one or mark a special occasion. Whether it’s an ancient stone circle which resonated with a friend or a view of a hillfort cherished by someone special, a bench dedication is a meaningful and lasting tribute that you can visit again and again.
The bench dedication plaques scheme is a fundraising campaign to support our charitable work rescuing and caring for Cornwall’s historic sites – and your dedication will directly help ensure that we can protect these precious parts of our heritage for future generations.
