The Duchy of Cornwall

The Duchy of Cornwall is a private estate with holdings across 20 counties in the UK. Predominantly in the Southwest of England, the Duchy comprises of arable and livestock farms, residential and commercial properties, as well as forests, rivers, quarries, and coastline. Inspired by the 25th Duke of Cornwall, HRH Prince William, the Duchy is committed to empowering communities, championing its tenants, supporting mental health, and tackling climate challenges through its net zero goal and environmental initiatives.

The Manor of Mere was included in the original grant of lands in 1337, and it had previously belonged to the Earl of Cornwall, King Henry III’s brother, Richard.

The National Trust

The National Trust is an independent conservation charity founded in 1895 by three people: Octavia Hill, Sir Robert Hunter and Hardwicke Rawnsley, who saw the importance of the nation’s heritage and open spaces and wanted to preserve them for everyone to enjoy. Today, across England, Wales and Northern Ireland, we continue to look after places so people and nature can thrive. 
 
We care for more than 250,000 hectares of countryside, 890 miles of coastline, 1 million collection items and 500 historic properties, gardens and nature reserves. In 2023/24 we received 25 million visitors to our pay for entry sites. The National Trust is for everyone – we were founded for the benefit of the whole nation, and our 5.4 million members, funders and donors, and tens of thousands of volunteers support our work to care for nature, beauty, history for everyone, for ever.
