English Heritage supports the proposed lighting of beacons on 4th June 2012 to celebrate Her Majesty the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee.
To ensure that these beacons do not inadvertently damage important historic and natural features, we have worked jointly with Natural England to produce a very brief guide to help those organising events. The guidance provides advice on checking whether proposed beacons will be on or near an historic site.
In the limited number of cases where this is the case, it also directs organisers to more detailed sources of advice on preventing damage.
