Kinver Edge has been formed over millions of years, from a vast desert to the beautiful sandstone escarpment we have now.  With its distinctive geology and important nature habitats, as well as fascinating stories of human occupation, the National Trust is looking after a place that is worth celebrating.

In 2017, we will be celebrating 100 years of National Trust ownership of this wonderful place.  In 1917 the Lee family bought 200 acres of Kinver Edge and donated it to the National Trust, so that it could be a place of recreation and refreshment for the people of Birmingham and the Black Country.  Since then more land has been acquired and the National Trust now looks after 350 acres of land as well as the uniquely special Rock Houses.  This nationally important site is looked after by a wonderful team of staff and volunteers, and the National Trust is supported in its work by the Kinver Edge Committee.

We want everyone to be able to access and enjoy this wonderful space.  As a lasting legacy of the Centenary, we want to create a Centenary Pathway.  The project will improve the surface of existing pathways and create new pathways.  By doing this we will make Kinver Edge more accessible for a wide range of users, making the site easier for people to enjoy.  The Pathway will be 3.5 miles of accessible footpaths, and will link up the various Rock Houses on the site as well as enabling people to enjoy and explore the different habitats and aspects of the Edge.  This project will cost £175,000 and we need your help!

Please support us by making a donation that will help others discover and explore this beautiful place, every donation will make a difference!
