Dear Future: I Leave This Place For You - Golden Cap

Find out how a gift in your will can help us protect and preserve the special places in our care.

  • Booking essential

Without gifts in wills, we simply wouldn’t be able to look after the extraordinary places in our care. This special event will take you behind the scenes to see first-hand how your support is helping us carry out crucial conservation work every day, and how a gift in your own will could help to safeguard the future of our special places.

You'll be taken on a guided stroll, via lanes, footpaths and meadows, around parts of the Golden Cap Estate - a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). You'll have stunning views of the iconic Golden Cap (Dorset's highest point) and the Jurassic Coast, and explore wildflower meadows teeming with wildlife. Drinks will be served part way through the walk, and a light lunch at the end.
