The Tamar Valley is now a World Heritage Site for it's mining landscape. This should mean a boost to business, in particular for any business associated with tourism.

It is estimated that the new status will attract over half a million extra visitors to Devon and Cornwall each year.

The Tamar Valley Mining Project has attracted £6,000,000 of grant funding. There will be an open day on Wednesday the 26 July 2006 at Morwellam Quay 4pm to 7pm for anyone interested in tendering for projects.
