In order to make good decisions about how Cornwall changes in the future we need to understand its past.

Heritage at the Heart of an Evolving Cornwall: A Strategy for Cornwall’s Historic Environment (2022 - 2030) was formally adopted by Cornwall Council on the 11th of May 2022

This strategy looks at Cornwall’s landscape, buildings and environment so that we can plan effectively for the future. This is especially important when it comes to the Climate Emergency and reversing the decline in wildlife.

This strategy has been developed in partnership with Bord Ertach Kernow.

A public consultation took place prior to the Strategy's formal adoption. All comments were read and where appropriate changes were made. Thank you to those who offered possible case studies and examples of best practice. These will all be considered and may be included in future revisions.

  • Intangible Cultural Heritage

    Cornwall is a cultural living landscape, shaped by the symbiosis of human activity and the natural environment. 

    Cultural intangible heritage is very broad, it covers a range of categories that play an important role in the identity, pride, and unity of communities across Cornwall. 

    This can include: local knowledge, folklore, performing arts, sports, social or culinary customs, and crafts.

    So many of these activities and knowledge are unrecorded & are thus at risk of being lost - we want to change that!

    If there is anything you can think of, whether it is local to you or Cornwall-wide, we want to hear about it from you.

    This survey is quick & only needs you to describe what you would like to have recorded. We might also want to get in touch for more information, if you're happy for us to reach out.


    The survey will close on the 31st October.


    This survey is less than 10 questions & should take 5-10 minutes to complete. We will only use any contact details you provide for the purposes of this survey & will not retain these details any longer than necessary, for more information please see our privacy policy: https://www.cornwall.gov.uk/the-council-and-democracy/website-help-and-information/privacy-policy/

    Workforce Working Group survey


    We had a successful ‘Careers in Heritage’ event at the inaugural EXPO Ertach Kernow last year. Following this, BEK and the Cornwall Education Business Partnership are working together to investigate a possible ‘Careers in Heritage’ initiative. We want it to to inspire new interest and attract future talent into the sector, particularly from the younger demographic.


    This survey is part of our effort to involve you as a key stakeholder in Cornwall's heritage sector. We'd like you to provide a quick overview of your service.


    It's up to you how you complete the survey. Fill it in alone or with a team, whichever is easiest! Please answer each question with a ‘gut feel’ of your response, rather than doing lots of research (unless you have the information to hand).


    Your input is highly valued and essential in making this happen. It will tell us what employment and training is already available and help us gauge interest in the initiative.


    Please share this with any other colleagues or partner organisations that you think should provide their contribution.


    This survey will close on the 15th of March
