It’s May and it’s beautiful. People are getting engaged on Kelston Roundhill, celebrating marriages in Roundhill Barn, and also remembering bereavement. These are important occasions that should be beautiful and memorable, and need to be appropriately handled.

Can we remind visitors the “leave no trace” policy is not just about litter, but also applies to non-biodegradable notices and memorials. Also that it’s a clear legal requirement to seek permission from the landowner before scattering ashes on private land. It’s not as simple as that: see Why “scattering ashes” is more complicated than it sounds (and what to do about it).

If you have any queries or want to reclaim stone or brass memorials left behind please email clare@roundhillbarn.com for advice.
