Heritage Week: Peatlands, Heritage and Biodiversity Tour of the Land

You are invited to join the Common Knowledge team for our Peatlands, Heritage and Biodiversity Tour of the Land. This event is perfect for anyone interested in sustainable practices, nature, biodiversity, heritage and history, or if you’re simply curious about Common Knowledge. It’s also a great opportunity to meet like-minded people and connect with others in the community.

Embark on a guided tour through our Biodiversity trail. Discover the diverse flora and fauna that thrive here and learn about our ongoing conservation efforts. Join us for a talk on the traditional heritage methods we use onsite. We discuss how techniques like cob, lime and plaster, and traditional farming skills are used in the management and regeneration of the site. Learn about our peatlands restoration plans, history of the site and sustainable practices that help preserve our heritage, followed by tea and biscuits with your fellow attendees. This part of the day is suitable for all ages, with children accompanied by an adult at all times.

We look forward to welcoming you to a morning of exploration, education, and community connection!

This event is part of our Heritage in Action 2026 Programme, funded by the Heritage Council and National Parks and Wildlife Service.
