The
Forgotten Landscapes Partnership Scheme will help
conserve and restore the built features that
create the historic character of the
landscape and natural landscape features
around Blaenavon.
Access into the wider landscape will be
improved and high quality information on the
area’s important cultural heritage and
wildlife made available to visitors.
The scheme encourages people to become involved
in their heritage landscape, to learn more
about it, contribute to ideas about its
future and to enjoy it! It was originated from a
small number of interested organisations led by Gwent
Wildlife Trust and Torfaen County Borough Council, will cover over 40
square kilometres round Blaenavon.
Through a strong local partnership
approach it will bring tremendous benefits for local people,
farmers, the business community and visitors. It could bring
significant long term benefits for the
management, preservation and presentation of
the historic industrial landscape.
