Several of the UK’s most popular heritage sites have been granted a total of more than £14 million in National Lottery funding to help them improve access for disabled people.
The cash will also be used to help more people from a diverse range of backgrounds connect with the UK’s monuments, the National Lottery Heritage Fund said.
Among the sites to receive a funding boost was the Anglesey Column Trust to help it adapt The Marquess of Anglesey’s Column and Cottage in Llanfairpwllgwyngyll, Wales.
The site, which commemorates the first marquess’ bravery in the Napoleonic Wars, received £872,800 which will be spent on adding an accessible walkway and a tree canopy viewing platform.
