I don't even know if the sites are privately owned and I doubt if the Trust would be interested until the restoration works were done; However just a thought to bear in mind and it might be worth negotiating with them as they have a great knowledge and experience of how to fund projects like yours. I could visualise the Darkhill works in it's beautiful location with an added tea room attracting huge numbers to the site; and dreaming even more, wouldn't it be marvellous if the Dean Forest Railway extended to the site. reading in the Review that you wanted publicise Mushet more, I thought that the National Trust would be the ideal organisation to do this as they have a huge membership and publish each year places open to the public and apart from the Kymin there is little in the FOD to vist that is owned by the NT.
