Managing, Using, and Interpreting Hadrian's Wall as World Heritage

Abstract

Chapter 4 outlines the pressures to develop, and antecedents of, the first iteration of the Hadrian’s Wall World Heritage Site Management Plan. Simplistically, this 1st Plan was a conservation management plan, drafted and delivered by archaeologists, that was nevertheless ‘cutting edge’ as it alluded to broader interest in the World Heritage Site—for example, education and tourism. The chapter charts the reaction to the 1st Plan and discusses how the, often hostile, reactions to that Plan led to the development of the Management Plan Committee, and, then, the 2nd Plan was drafted with greater participation from stakeholders representing a wider range of interests.
