In this paper, attention will be drawn to the Blaenavon Industrial area in South Wales which in 2000 was declared a WHS. This recognised the ‘unique’ legacy of the forgotten, industrial landscapes with their ecological, geological and cultural significance.The Forgotten Landscapes Project, as it has become known, introduces cultural learning as a means to encourage local communities to recognise and maintain their own heritage landscapes. This involves targeting all age groups but also 16-19 year olds in a bid to avoid what can be referred to as the regression of WHS’ into ‘theme parks’ which is both a challenge but also, ironically, often a prerequisite for WHS sustainability.
