Heritage site gets £25,000 funding boost to create accessible gardens and community growing space
A cherished piece of Ramsey's heritage is set to flourish, thanks to a generous grant from the Manx Lottery Trust. The historic Milntown estate has been awarded £25,000 to transform its grounds into an accessible and vibrant community resource that celebrates both nature and sustainable living.
The funding will enable the creation of a beautiful new gardening space complete with a modern greenhouse, perfectly suited for the volunteers who dedicate their time to growing fresh produce for local residents. Raised planting beds and accessible pathways will ensure that visitors with mobility challenges can fully enjoy and participate in this welcoming environment.
Beyond food production, Milntown Trust has ambitious plans to establish an educational space in partnership with the Manx Wildlife Trust. This initiative will deepen visitors' connection to the Island's natural heritage while promoting environmental awareness and community engagement.
For those planning a visit to Ramsey, the refreshed estate promises a meaningful experience that captures the essence of Isle of Man's commitment to heritage preservation, sustainability, and inclusive community spaces. Whether you're a keen gardener, nature enthusiast, or simply looking to explore the Island's historic attractions, Milntown's transformation makes it an increasingly rewarding destination.
