Welcome to the Mountain Heritage Trust

The Mountain Heritage Trust seeks to identify and collect material which documents Britain’s vibrant climbing and mountaineering history. We hope you enjoy our site, which is continually evolving as we acquire new collections and expand our online exhibitions. 

We are delighted to announce the opening of the Chris Bonington Archive Collection. A selection of images are displayed in the gallery above; in order to see further details please click here. MHT would like to thank Chris Bonington and Frances Daltrey of the Chris Bonington Picture Library for their kind assistance in making this collection available.
