Steeped in history, the excitement and romanticism of castles and forts attract a wide variety of different visitor segments. However, in this financially challenging climate, it is essential that these incredible heritage sites are utilising their resources effectively to maximise potential. However, there is a careful balance to be achieved between introducing commercial activities and ensuring the qualities that make heritage properties special places to visit are maintained. We often work with conservation architects and other heritage specialists.
