What if heritage could help young people feel more connected, confident and supported?
Cornwall’s ancient landscapes and historic monuments are so much more than remnants of the past. They are powerful tools for wellbeing, belonging and building a sense of place.
This summer, we’ve seen that in action and the impact it has through our Carefree Wellbeing Programme.
In partnership with the charity Carefree Cornwall, this programme supports young people who are in and leaving care by giving them opportunities to explore historic places, build confidence outdoors and discover a Cornwall that feels like theirs.
Over the last four months, participants have visited mining remains, explored breathtaking clifftops and taken part in creative workshops focused on mindfulness and reflection. These experiences are so much more than a fun day out – they help young people develop independence and a deeper connection to the landscapes and stories around them.
When we asked participants what they enjoyed most, their answers were wonderfully simple: visiting new places, learning about Cornwall’s history, meeting new people and making friends.
Here’s some of the work they created to reflect on their visits…
Cornwall’s heritage is a living story. It needs care, investment and community participation — and it has the power to shape futures as much as it preserves the past. Programmes like Carefree show how historic places can support wellbeing, strengthen social connection and help young people feel part of Cornwall’s story.

Cornwall Heritage Trust has become the proud new owner of the Prince of Wales Engine House, one of Cornwall’s most recognisable mining landmarks.
Standing on the south-eastern edge of Bodmin Moor, the Grade II Listed engine house forms part of the Cornish Mining World Heritage Site and has long been a source of pride for local people. Its dramatic silhouette is a powerful reminder of Cornwall’s mining past and the communities whose lives were shaped by it.
The transfer marks the fifth historic site to be entrusted to Cornwall Heritage Trust by Cornwall Council in the past year, reflecting the charity’s growing role in protecting Cornwall’s heritage for public benefit.
The engine house is designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), it supports rare and endangered plant life, including one of only two known locations in the world where Cornish path moss grows. Nationally rare mosses and liverworts can also be found on the site.
In addition, the monument lies within Cornwall National Landscape and the Bodmin Moor International Dark Sky Landscape.
The acquisition forms part of Cornwall Heritage Trust’s wider vision for the Bodmin Moor area, where it already cares for several important historic sites, including Houseman’s Engine House, the Hurler Stone Circles, King Doniert’s Stone, Trethevy Quoit and St Cleer Holy Well and Cross. The charity is working to protect, conserve and celebrate the area’s rich heritage while supporting local communities and creating opportunities for people to connect with Cornwall’s unique story.
As an independent charity, Cornwall Heritage Trust receives no regular government funding and relies on the generosity of its members, donors and supporters to protect Cornwall’s heritage and keep its sites free for everyone to enjoy.

Cathy Woolcock, Chief Executive of Cornwall Heritage Trust, said:
“We are thrilled to be taking on the care of the Prince of Wales Engine House and securing the future of this much-loved landmark. This is an important step in our wider vision for the area, and we are excited to work with local people to tell the story of this extraordinary landscape, its mining heritage and the communities that shaped it.”
Cornwall Heritage Trust cares for some of Cornwall’s most remarkable historic places, all of which are free to visit throughout the year. Together, they offer opportunities to explore Cornwall’s rich history, enjoy spectacular landscapes and connect with the stories of the people who came before us.
Cornwall Heritage Trust is delighted to invite both its members and the public to step inside the historic Nancealverne estate this July for two special consultation open days designed to help shape the future of the newly gifted property.
Following the recent completion of the transfer of ownership, Cornwall Heritage Trust is now the official custodian of Nancealverne House, the Grade II* listed Georgian country house near Penzance which has been home to the Scobell Armstrong family since the 1750s.
The events will take place on Friday 10th July for members of Cornwall Heritage Trust and Saturday 11th July for the general public.
The consultation days are designed to invite and encourage people to explore Nancealverne, to experience the site and help shape its future. Visitors will be encouraged to share their memories, ideas and suggestions for how the house and grounds could be used, interpreted and developed in the years ahead.
Sophie Meyer, Engagement Manager, said:
“We’re really looking forward to welcoming people to this fantastic site for the first time. The open days are an opportunity for people to experience Nancealverne for themselves and help us begin an important conversation about its future. We want to hear local memories, ideas and aspirations so that the next chapter of Nancealverne is shaped with the community at its heart.”
Visitors wishing to come along and take part can do so by booking onto one of nine timed house tours operating on each day. Tours will be led by Sophie, and will provide an opportunity to see the principal rooms of Nancealverne House while learning about its fascinating history.
In addition to the house tour, visitors will be able to enjoy a circular self-guided walking route around the gardens and grounds, supported by a free handout map and interpretation guide.
Tea, coffee and cake will be available during the events.
Attendance is completely free, however advance booking is essential.

We were all incredibly sad to hear of the death of our former trustee, Liz Carne.
Liz was an enthusiastic trustee of Cornwall Heritage Trust who provided a wealth of knowledge and expertise for the Cornish language, but also education and Cornish culture too. She was always willing to try new things but not afraid to ask questions and provide gentle challenge to ensure that we were making the right decisions for the charity.
Following her health diagnosis, Liz resigned as a trustee last year, but remained in touch with us and very interested in the Trust’s news and activities.
We will miss her very much and send our thoughts and sincere condolences to Ian, Richard and Agnes.
Cornwall Heritage Trust is delighted to be part of the exciting new Mid Cornwall Moors Nature Reserve, helping to celebrate and protect one of Cornwall’s most important landscapes for wildlife, history and people.
We are especially pleased that Castle an Dinas, which Cornwall Heritage Trust has cared for since 1989, forms part of the reserve, helping connect more people with Cornwall’s rich natural and cultural heritage.

Ancient Cornish moors gain landmark National Nature Reserve status
A unique Cornish moorland landscape, shaped by thousands of years of history, becomes a National Nature Reserve.
- Over 1,100 hectares of moorland, the equivalent of 1,500 football pitches, recognised for nature recovery.
- Wild wet woodlands, heaths, moorlands, and bogs, supporting rare species, made bigger, better, and more joined up, for local people and visitors to enjoy.
Today, Wednesday 27 May, the Mid Cornwall Moors is declared the 14th site in the King’s Series of National Nature Reserves (NNR’s). It brings over 1,100 hectares of moorland together, which is more than double the size of the existing Goss Moor National Nature Reserve, which it incorporates.
The Mid Cornwall Moors form a patchwork of semi-natural habitats, including heath, moorland, mire, and woodland. The NNR sites create a network across Cornwall’s distinctive clay country between St Austell to the south, Bodmin to the east, and St Columb Major to the north.
This declaration celebrates places that have shaped Cornwall’s national story and recognises the county’s richest historical landscapes, spanning prehistoric tin streaming, Iron Age hillforts and ancient woodland. Iconic sites including Helman Tor, the Iron Age hillfort of Castle an Dinas, and Goss Moor, known locally to have been King Arthur’s favourite hunting ground, all form part of this nationally significant landscape.
The reserve combines land managed for nature and heritage by Natural England, Cornwall Wildlife Trust, Cornwall Heritage Trust, the Gaia Trust and Imerys. It also includes land designated as the Mid Cornwall Moors Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), which is land of exceptional ecological importance.
Home to rare habitats and species, this nature reserve includes wet ‘willow carr’ woodland, with the rare willow tit, and raised bogs with sphagnum moss, lesser butterfly orchid, royal fern and the carnivorous round-leaved sundew. Cornish moneywort, which is unique to Cornwall’s tin streaming landscape, also thrive.
Tony Juniper CBE, Chair of Natural England, said:
“The declaration of the Mid Cornwall Moors as a National Nature Reserve is a powerful recognition of the landscape’s extraordinary natural and cultural heritage.
“By bringing these landscapes together under one reserve, we are not only helping to restore precious habitats but also creating more opportunities for people to connect with nature, history and the unique character of Cornwall for generations to come.”
Matt Walpole, CEO of Cornwall Wildlife Trust said:
“The new Mid Cornwall Moors National Nature Reserve reflects the importance of long-term collaboration in creating bigger, better and more connected spaces for nature recovery.
“The inclusion of Helman Tor within the National Nature Reserve recognises decades of work to restore habitats and support wildlife recovery within this special landscape.
“We are already seeing the benefits of working with natural processes through conservation grazing with Longhorn cattle and Tamworth pigs, alongside pioneering wild beaver reintroductions. Helping to create more diverse and resilient habitats for wildlife to thrive and for people to enjoy.”
The area serves a community living in one of Cornwall’s most rurally deprived regions. The declaration will improve access to nature, create opportunities for learning and recreation, and support broader economic benefits locally.
Cathy Woolcock, CEO of Cornwall Heritage Trust said:
“The Mid Cornwall Moors National Nature Reserve (NNR) brings together a number of important land areas and celebrates both nature and the incredible time-depth of human history, ranging from hunter-gatherers in the Mesolithic through to miners and farmers in more recent centuries.
“We are pleased that Castle an Dinas is to be included within the expanded NNR, especially given its direct links to the Goss Moor and the wider landscape in Mid Cornwall.
“We look forward to collaborating with partners involved with the NNR to better connect Cornish residents and visitors to these most important places in Cornwall’s national story.”
The declaration of this National Nature Reserve reflects Natural England’s commitment to working in partnership to deliver nature recovery on a landscape scale. The King’s Series will create 25 new or expanded NNRs in honour of His Majesty the King, with five new sites announced each year until 2028.
Mark Hewson, who leads Imerys in the UK said:
“Nature restoration is central to modern mining and is built into the design and management of every pit.
“Local community involvement has been an essential element of this, and the clear message is that increased access for walkers, cyclists and horse riders is the number one priority.
“We are very proud to be working with our partners, creating this legacy for people and nature in the heart of Cornwall.”
Matt Edworthy, Director of the Gaia Trust said:
“It is fantastic for Chark Moor to be included in this new National Nature Reserve along with the other wonderful sites. All are havens for wildlife including locally and nationally rare species and require ongoing management, including careful conservation grazing by cattle and ponies.
“Sustainable management supports local graziers and businesses, and provides learning and skills development opportunities for local people”
Notes:
- National Nature Reserves, designated by Natural England, are our most important places for nature, where habitats, wildlife and geology are protected and where environmental research, access and community engagement come together through partnerships to inspire and connect people with nature and in support of nature’s recovery.
- The King’s Series of NNRs, the first of which was declared in 2023, in honour of His Majesty the King’s Coronation, is a commitment made through the Government’s Environmental Improvement Plan to declare 25 new National Nature Reserves over a 5-year period in recognition of His Majesty’s longstanding passion for the natural environment. This is the most significant expansion of the NNR series in a generation.
- Castle an Dinas was recorded as a seat of the Duke of Cornwall in a Cornish language miracle play and was later owned by the Duchy of Cornwall. Cornwall Heritage Trust (CHT) has just celebrated their 40th anniversary, and they have been custodians of this important Scheduled Ancient Monument since 1989. The young Prince Charles visited the site exactly 40 years ago, as negotiations for the transfer of the monument to CHT were beginning.
- Tin streaming is an ancient Cornish mining method that extracts tin from riverbeds and valleys rather than underground. Practised since prehistoric times, it reshapes the land into boggy, waterlogged terrain which are ideal conditions for rare species.
- Conservation farming is the key management tool for managing many of these sites, and through a range of native breeds such as Belted Galloway and Longhorn cattle, support sustainable farm businesses and food production. Natural England’s Higher Level Stewardship Schemes supports this, along with one of only two Natural-England in-house run farms situated on site.
- Sites are grazed with Exmoor and Dartmoor ponies and the more recent introduction of Tamworth pigs, and a licenced wild beaver release on Cornwall Wildlife Trust sites. See press release: https://www.cornwallwildlifetrust.org.uk/news/wild-beavers-release-marks-new-chapter-nature-recovery-cornwall
- The Tregothnan Estate is a key landowner within the partnership, demonstrating their long-term commitment to conservation and sustainable land management in the area.
St Cleer Holy Well and Cross was filled with music, colour and celebration on Friday 8th May as the local community gathered for this year’s Well Flowering Ceremony.
Children from St Cleer Primary School played a central role in the event, processing to the well with the beautiful stained glass-inspired panel they created alongside our Education and Outreach Manager, Caroline. Inspired by the floral decorations adorning the well, the artwork looked spectacular as the sunlight shone through its vibrant designs.
If you missed it, you can now watch the event in the video below. Huge thanks to Mike Davey Photography for producing and sharing it with us.
Led by Merv Davey on the Celtic Pipes, the procession was followed by blessings in Cornish and English, storytelling, singing and traditional dancing from the children, creating a joyful celebration of this much-loved local tradition.
Artist in residence, Jeremy Sanders, also joined us on the day, capturing the atmosphere and celebrations in his own distinctive style.
Thank you to everyone who joined us for such a special morning and to St Cleer Primary School for all their creativity and enthusiasm.
Kindly supported by GWR.

“To say we’re over the moon is an understatement. These awards mean such a huge amount to us because they recognise the passion, care and hard work that so many people pour into protecting Cornwall’s heritage every day.
What makes this especially meaningful is knowing how many people these projects have connected with – from staff and volunteers caring for heritage sites in all weathers and families discovering Cornwall’s history online in new and engaging ways, to people joining us in muddy excavation trenches and uncovering the stories of our sites first-hand.
I’m incredibly proud of everyone involved. These awards are a reflection of the dedication of our staff, volunteers, partners and supporters, and we simply couldn’t do this work without them.”

A historic Grade II* listed Georgian Country House near Penzance has been gifted to Cornwall Heritage Trust, securing its long-term future and enabling its heritage to be shared with Cornish communities through greater public access.
Nancealverne, home to the Scobell Armstrong family since the 1750s, sits within more than 20 acres of parkland, including formal gardens and a small lake. Once a focal point for community events such as gymkhanas, performances and gatherings, the house has more recently served as both a family home and holiday accommodation.
The gift marks a significant moment for the charity, which protects historic places across Cornwall, and ensures that Nancealverne’s rich heritage can be preserved and shared with the public.
Cathy Woolcock, CEO of Cornwall Heritage Trust explains: “We were contacted by Kester Armstrong, the current owner of Nancealverne, last year, and were deeply moved by his family’s decision to gift the property to Cornwall Heritage Trust. This extraordinary generosity means we can protect Nancealverne’s unique history and begin once again to share it more widely, ensuring it can be enjoyed for generations to come.”
Kester Armstrong inherited the property from his father, John Scobell Armstrong, 25 years ago. Since then, he and his wife Diana have worked tirelessly to maintain the property, parts of which are believed to date back to the Elizabethan period.
Speaking about the news, Kester Armstrong said: “Our family is delighted that the future of Nancealverne will be protected and that it will become an asset which can be enjoyed by the community in the years ahead. We have always considered ourselves to be the custodians of the house and its history. Having spent a significant part of our lives working to maintain and restore the house, its gardens and its historic contents, we are so pleased to know that it will be expertly cared for in the future by Cornwall Heritage Trust.”
Pictured: Diana and Kester Armstrong (seated) together with their three children.
Nancealverne also reflects Cornwall’s rich industrial and maritime past, with connections to mining, farming and the legal profession, as well as notable military and naval history. A number of family members were some of the earliest tin mining entrepreneurs in Cornwall in the 1700’s. Two family members fought with Lord Nelson at the Battle of the Nile in 1798. The resulting prize money was used to fund additions and renovations to the house.
Richard Trant, Chairman of Cornwall Heritage Trust, said: “We are honoured to be entrusted with such a special property. Following the success of our 40th anniversary year, this is an exciting step forward in our continued mission to protect Cornwall’s heritage and make it accessible to more people. We are extremely grateful to the Armstrong family for their generosity and for placing their trust in us. We are committed to securing a strong and sustainable future for Nancealverne and look forward to enabling public access to the heritage and history within its walls and grounds.”

Cornwall Heritage Trust plans to continue offering holiday accommodation at Nancealverne while developing longer-term plans for public access and interpretation.
Cathy Woolcock explains: “It is important that this historic house can support itself as we plan for the future. Reopening the holiday accommodation will help cover essential costs while we explore additional ways to ensure its long-term sustainability.
There will be a careful balance between opening to the public and enabling appropriate commercial activities to take place. But our priority will always be to preserve and strengthen its history and heritage.”
Pictured: Nancealverne House Reception Hall
Sophie Meyer, Engagement Manager at Cornwall Heritage Trust, added: “Nancealverne contains a remarkable collection of portraits and mementoes that tell the stories of the family who lived here for nearly 300 years. We are developing plans for an extensive archival and interpretation project and exploring how best to share the property with the public. Over the coming months we will host community consultation days and will be inviting local people to share their memories and ideas to help shape the future of this incredible place.”
The transfer of ownership is expected to be complete in May 2026.
Get involved
A series of public consultation sessions are planned for July 2026, during which community groups and members of the public will be invited and encouraged to share their memories of Nancealverne along with their ideas on how the house could be opened up.
If you would like to find out more and get involved in the conversations, please click the button below to sign up to receive our e-newsletter and you’ll be the first to hear about the consultation sessions we’re planning. We’d really love to welcome as much input as possible.
Listen to BBC Radio Cornwall interview
On Wednesday 15th April, our CEO, Cathy Woolcock, and Kester Armstrong spoke with BBC Radio Cornwall about this extraordinary gift and what it means for the future of the property.
In conversation with Emma Gill, they discuss the history of Nancealverne, the Armstrong family’s long stewardship, and our plans to carefully open up this special place for the community to enjoy.
As we begin this journey, we’re grateful for the support and interest shown so far, and we look forward to sharing more updates in the months ahead.
The students gained “an appreciation for our mining heritage and an understanding of this period in our history, as well as consolidating their learning on types of rocks from previous years.”
We’re thrilled to hear how much the children from Tregadillett Primary School benefited from their recent workshop exploring the heritage of Cornwall’s mining and minerals with our Education and Outreach Manager, Caroline.
This workshop was sponsored by Cornish Metals, and we’re hugely grateful for its support.
The children had a great time delving into Cornwall’s geology and industrial past. The big smiles really do say it all!
This is what their teachers said…
“[The] children were so engaged throughout. It was very interactive, with lots of objects to handle and ask questions about.”
“It was inclusive to all learners.”
“Caroline was engaging and knowledgeable.”
We offer a wide range of classroom-based workshops as part of our ‘Discovery Programme’, with hands-on activities that aim to bring Cornwall’s history and heritage to life. These range from prehistoric jewellery making to exploring Cornish folklore and can cater for all ages and abilities.

As fuel prices continue to soar, Cornwall Heritage Trust is encouraging primary schools in Cornwall struggling with the costs of transport for heritage trips to apply for support through its School Transport Grants Scheme.
This financial support offers funding towards the costs of fuel and vehicle hire for class visits, which aim to develop awareness and appreciation of Cornish heritage and history.
The grants are available for visits to the historic sites Cornwall Heritage Trust looks after, as well as trips to any museum, ancient monument or historic place in Cornwall to learn about Cornish heritage.
Cornish Lithium is the foundation sponsor for this academic year’s grants. The mineral exploration and development company has supported the charity’s School Transport Grants Scheme for a number of years.
Cornwall Heritage Trust CEO, Cathy Woolcock, said: “It’s been over a decade since we launched this funding, and in the current economic climate, the demand has become greater than ever before. The cost of transport continues to be one of the biggest barriers to schools visiting a heritage site, with it costing, on average, around £400 for every trip they run. The feedback we get from those apply to us for grants underlines the huge impact that these experiences have on students and why it’s so important to keep funding them.””
“Our independent charity invests a significant amount in this scheme, but rising costs and demand make it a challenge to provide the level of grants that schools need. Cornish Lithium’s sponsorship, therefore, makes a huge difference and we’re incredibly grateful for their ongoing support.”
Zoe Carter, ESG Engagement Lead at Cornish Lithium, said: “We are pleased to be a long-term foundation sponsor of Cornwall Heritage Trust’s School Transport Grants Scheme, which continues to have a hugely positive impact on children across Cornwall. As transport costs increase, this funding has become more important than ever for schools trying to provide enriching heritage trips. Cornish Lithium is committed to supporting initiatives that benefit local communities, and our partnership with Cornwall Heritage Trust is a key part of that commitment.”
Since Cornwall Heritage Trust’s School Transport Grants Scheme was introduced in 2014, over 25,000 children have benefited from the funding, which has enabled over 600 school trips to 42 heritage sites across Cornwall to take place.
