The Heritage（遺產(chǎn)）at Risk programme aims to understand the overall state of England’s heritage by assessing each of its different elements．In particular we need to identify those that are facing the greatest pressures and threats．We will use this information to work out how to reduce those pressures and in turn to calculate the resources needed to make our unique heritage of historic places safe．

You can search for sites on the register by entering a site name, location, street or educational block in the box below．

Conservation areas

A nationwide survey of conservation areas indicates that approximately 1 in 7 is at risk from neglect （疏忽）, decay （腐爛）or unpitying change．

Show your support for our campaign to save conservation areas from unavoidable decline and receive a free campaign pack by registering．There are some 9,300 conservation areas across England, meaning that we all live in or near to one or visit one regularly for work, shopping or rest．They are the element of England’s heritage that is all around us and which touches all of our lives．But until now no one had a clear idea what condition they were in．

Buildings

The task of assessing condition and risk started with buildings．Following a survey of all grades of listed buildings in London, English Heritage published in 1991 the first annual register of those at risk there．

The success of this London work led to the national buildings at risk strategy in 1998, and publication of a register of buildings at risk conversing all grade I and II listed buildings and structural scheduled monuments in the country, at risk and vulnerable（易受傷害的）．

Parks & Gardens

    There are 1,600 entries on the current English Heritage Register of Historic Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest．Sites at risk have typically been diversely（不利地）affected by development and neglect; often they have been changed by development and are faced with major change．Sometimes development beyond the boundary of a registered landscape can be just as harmful as construction within its boundaries; this is especially true that development would influence designed views that extend beyond the chosen site itself．

Bedfordshire had its fair share of royal visits from the early stages of the 10th Century onwards and the importance that the county placed on this is evident in the monuments, country houses, churches and any number of other structures that are still present there to this day. Bedford Castle is one of those structures and, although it is nowhere near its former glory today, it is an essential attraction to visit if you really want to grasp what its heritage means to the county!
Bedford Castle was built initially as a fortress to help protect Bedfordshire on the south of the River Ouse after the people in the local towns and villages had already been subdued. It was erected in 919 on the orders of King Edward the Elder, although it was destroyed by a Danish invasion years later. This was when it was rebuilt as the castle, of which the ruins exist today!
There is a long history behind the castle that involves several kings as a result of the Duke of Bedford being an ardent royalist. Bedford Castle repeatedly offered the kings of England refuge against various storms in the form of onslaughts from abroad and various domestic threats against them, and this is where much of its fame lies, even though the castle itself is no longer there. There are various tours of the ruins that you can take when you visit though and all of the guides are extremely knowledgeable. They will happily tell you tales of the mound and the castle that preceded it.
The mound is open to the public all year round and is a proud part of the area’s heritage. It is recommended by the majority of people that visit Bedfordshire because it tells you much about why the county is currently how it is. You can view the river from the mound and the surrounding settlements as well as the remains of the castle, and every moment spent there is worth it so enjoy the history and the very nature of the county itself!
