Description

Highcliffe Castle, on the Dorset coast, is a visitor attraction attracting 30,000 visitors a year.

Highcliffe Castle is arguably the most important surviving house of the Romantic and Picturesque style of architecture, which flourished at the end of the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th century. Its significance is recognised nationally by its Grade 1 status on the Statutory List of Buildings of Special Architectural and Historical Interest (less than 0.1% of the buildings in the country).

The Castle was rendered derelict in the 1960's by fire and abandonment. Whilst externally restored in the 1990's with assistance and funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund there is an ongoing phased approach to the continued repair and conservation of the interior. The project focuses on the repair of the remaining ground floor and basement areas. This is important as it will give access to more of the heritage, including the servant's areas and original kitchen.

The objectives of the project are to:

? improve the visitor experience
? increase visitor numbers
? increase turnover for the attraction.
