Heritage On Your Doorstep

What is heritage?

Heritage can be:

  • Cultural: families, religion and traditions such as Chinese New Year
  • Historical: Events, buildings or artefacts linked to important historical events such as WWII
  • Industrial: Infrastructure such as reservoirs that have a central role in local historical events
  • Natural: Important species and habitats – these could be bats, ancient woodland and wetland

Did you know that Creggan Country Park was once owned by Earl Bishop Frederick Hervey? He used the 100-acre site as a deer park back in 1800s.  Find out more from our ‘Step Back in Time’ pamphlets.

Why protect heritage?

In 2007 we explored our historical, natural, cultural and industrial heritage thanks to Heritage Lottery Funded project ‘Step Back In Time.’  You can discover it still by downloading our free pamphlets and watching the videos below.
