World Heritage Site Enhancement Fund

The fund was established in 2009, as a partnership between the World Heritage Site Steering Group, Bath and North East Somerset Council and Bath Preservation Trust.

It has 3 aims:

  • to initiate and organise minor enhancements to Bath’s heritage.
  • To assist and encourage others to undertake such work
  • to organise volunteers for the same purpose

To date  the fund has organised or participated in 50 schemes totalling over a third of a million pounds, and three structures have been removed from the Council’s Building at Risk register.

Details of the projects are outlined in the second annual newsletter. Ideas for further projects, especially those involving the heritage on which the World Heritage inscription is based, are always welcome.

We are very grateful for the financial support of our partners.

If you would like further information about the Fund please contact our Administrator Ainslie Ensom at whsef@bptrust.org.uk

For general World Heritage information, please contact B&NES World Heritage Manager Tony Crouch or 01225 477584.

The World Heritage Site Enhancement Fund continues to promote the public enjoyment and interpretation of our historic city; you can explore Bath’s exceptional heritage by following the World Heritage City Trail, now issued in a new digital edition that you can use on your phone. The Trail is available to download here: WHS Enhancement Fund City Trail

The Fund was a finalist in the Bath Life Awards 2020! Here is our submission.
