Archaeology
The Trust has many nationally important archaeological features on its land.
The old gunpowder works at Kennall Vale is a nationally important monument and the site is also a wonderful nature reserve. The old mills and leat system nestle into the river valley and are surrounded by woods teeming with wildlife.
These features rarely conflict with the conservation objectives of the nature reserve. Those such as the Quoit and Castle at Chûn Downs and the Bronze Age platform cairn at Priddacombe Downs add extra interest for visitors.
Expert archaeological advice is always sought for the management of these features and is incorporated into the Trust's work plans.
