With the help of many volunteers and a dedicated and passionate group of supporters and sponsors The National Trust has continued to welcome as many competitors and spectators as the tide would allow to Chapel Porth. It did retain the special character and atmosphere of the event despite many challenges. This is a reflection of our core work and attitude to the preservation and conservation of this stunning yet delicate and fragile landscape. We face many challenges in the years ahead from climate change, erosion, increased visitor numbers and competition for funding.
