The hill forts, cairns and passage tombs of the ancient past; the ruins of ancient monasteries and early churches; the farm houses and low stone walls built into our landscape; the red brick terraces and mills of industrialisation; the Georgian spires and Victorian edifices that preside over our towns. Each tells a part of Northern Ireland’s story.
As an alliance of Northern Ireland’s heritage organisations we believe that protecting and investing in our heritage is essential to creating a better future. Our heritage supports our prosperity, strengthens our society, and shapes our character.
