Heritage

With a history stretching back 1000s of years, England has many landmarks, stately homes, ancient ruins and other heritage sites across England.

Please feel free to explore some of the links on the right for places that you may not have even been aware of and some that may be on your doorstep!

 

	Stonehenge was constructed in three phases. It has been estimated that the three phases of the construction required more than thirty million hours of labour. Speculation on the reason it was built range from human sacrifice to astronomy.
	With its spectacular location on Cornwall’s dramatic and windswept Atlantic coastline, Tintagel is a place of magic and  myth where the legend of King Arthur was born. This historic spot is rich in flora and fauna and provides a breeding ground for sea birds, lizards and butterflies.
	Kenilworth Castle - one of England’s most spectacular castle ruins in Warwickshire, discover links to some major historical figures – including ‘Bad’ King John, Henry V, and Henry VIII, Robert Dudley and Queen Elizabeth I.
	Bodiam Castle - a perfect example of a late medieval moated castle. One of Britain's most famous and evocative castles with medieval battlements, ramparts and moat to explore.
	Dunstanburgh Castle is a massive ruined castle in an impressive coastal setting which dominates a lonely stretch of Northumberland's coastline. It was once one of the largest and grandest fortifications in northern England.
	Sutton Hoo - awe inspiring Anglo-Saxon royal burial site. One of Britain's most important and atmospheric archaeological sites. Burial ground of the Anglo-Saxon kings of East Anglia.
	Borrowdale is a classic example of a steep sided glacial valley in mountainous countryside. Running some ten miles from the high fells, with 977m Scafell Pike the highest summit, down to the shores of Derwentwater at Keswick, the River Derwent valley must be one of the most dramatic and beautiful landscapes in England.
	Tower Of London - In the early 1080s, William the Conqueror began to build a massive stone tower at the centre of his London fortress. Nothing like it had ever been seen before. Through the centuries that followed, successive monarchs added to the fortifications.
	Warwick Castle - Our history stretches back almost 1,100 years. In 914AD Ethelfleda, daughter of Alfred the Great, ordered the building of a 'burh' or an earthen rampart to protect the small hill top settlement of Warwick from Danish invaders.
	Hadrian's Wall was constructed over a period of six years by order of the Emperor Hadrian, who came to Britain in AD 122. It was built to 'separate the Romans from the Barbarians' a feat it achieved for over 250 years. Today, the area between South Shields and Ravenglass is studded with forts, milecastles, temples and turrets.

Conservation

Cliveden Conservation - Over the years since our foundation, first as the National Trust Statuary Workshop in 1982, then as an independent company, the Cliveden Conservation Workshop from 1990 has developed a greater experience and expertise in more specialist areas of conservation than any other company.
