700,000 visitors cause severe erosion at Mam Tor hillfort; National Trust leads restoration project.
Mam Tor, a historic hillfort in the Peak District, is undergoing extensive restoration due to severe erosion from approximately 700,000 visitors this year. The project, led by the National Trust, aims to repair ancient earthwork banks and improve footpaths to minimize further damage. Helicopters are being used to transport materials, as vehicle access is limited. The restoration will take several years to preserve this significant archaeological site for future generations.
