HistoryUpton Towans is owned by Cornwall County Council and managed by the Cornwall Wildlife Trust. Until 1945 Upton Towans was the site of the National Explosives factory. The beautiful dunes now almost entirely conceal this history, but if you look carefully at some of the dunes, you will see they are actually square and the legacy of dynamite bunkers. Due to an increased number of visitors to the area and with the site being part of the SSSI, more preservation is needed and the site has, therefore been designated as a Local Nature Reserve. |
