Mrs Talbot saw the importance of our nation’s heritage and open spaces and wanted to preserve them for everyone to enjoy; as was our founders vision when they established the charity in 1895. More than 120 years later, these values are still at the heart of everything we do. We look after special places for everyone, for ever.

When Mrs Fanny Talbot donated this piece of land little did she know that it would grow to be Europe’s largest conservation charity. From Dinas Oleu you can see many of the 58,000 acres of land we now look after in Snowdonia along with 196 miles of Welsh coastline. On the top you'll find a stone platform built in 1995 to commemorate a 100 years of being in our care.
