The Duke of Edinburgh became Patron of our 'Enterprise Neptune' appeal in 1965. We're grateful for his support and patronage, which enabled us to acquire 576 miles of coastline in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland, for everyone.

Happy birthday to William Morris, whose timeless textile patterns were inspired by a love for nature.
Initially apprenticed to an architect, Morris soon found his calling designing furniture and patterns for use in the home.
