Community Led Tourism – Romania Learning Trip

Do you have an interest in tourism? Would you like to take part in a learning visit to Romania in March 2019?
The learning visits will be offered to individuals in the local community in Angus who are involved directly or indirectly in tourism. Participants can include individuals from businesses, community leaders or volunteers.

Murton Trust is a partner, with Angus Tourism Cooperative, Flourish9 and Angus Council and is currently taking part in a Transnational Cooperation Project with Belgium and Romania.  This project aims to build the capacity of three areas in each country; Angus (SC), Meetjesland (BE) and Bazinul Dornelor (RO) to develop a flourishing visitor economy that benefits the whole community. Across the whole project we will be researching and driving community-led tourism using three main themes of welcoming visitors, promoting local food & drink and traditional rural skills.

Thank You for all your Support

As we are reaching the milestone of 5000 likes on Facebook we would like to take the opportunity to thank everyone that supports our charity.

Support comes in many forms such as making a donation, visiting the tearoom, playing on the farm, shopping on AmazonSmile, attending our events, volunteering with us, donating resources, sponsoring or adopting our animals, hiring our venues, collaborative work, purchasing our handmade wooden goods or even celebrating with a party at Murton.

Did you know you can also become a Friend of Murton? 

To celebrate we will be opening the farm for free, one day in November. This will be announced when we reach our milestone.
