World Heritage Status puts the historic Cornwall and West Devon mining landscape on a par with Stonehenge, the Taj Mahal, and the Great Wall of China. The World Heritage team and their partners have invested in a cultural events programme which helps to promote the sites as an evolving and living landscape and encourages visitors to explore and learn about Cornwall and West Devon's mining past. Cornwall Songwriters is very grateful for assistance received from this scheme. For more information on your heritage visit  www.cornishmining.org.uk
