Managing the World Heritage Site
Dyghtya an TEB
The ongoing co-ordinated management of the World Heritage Site is a process reliant on the successful collaboration of a range of stake-holding partners.
The World Heritage Site includes three local authority administrative areas - Cornwall Council, West Devon Borough Council and Devon County Council - and is governed by a Partnership Board, comprising local authority elected members, officers, and others.
Further information on the Partnership Board and the World Heritage Site management structure and operations are set out within the World Heritage Site Management Plan 2020-2025, below.
