The National Trust is Britain’s largest conservation organisation, caring for over 500 historic houses, castles, parks, and gardens, nearly a million works of art,
more than 890 miles of spectacular coastline and 250,000 hectares of land.
The National Trust has been conserving the nation’s treasures for over 125 years and is a charity that receives no direct support from the government. The National Trust does not cover Scotland, although membership does allow free entry to properties owned by The National Trust for Scotland. Children under 5 also go for free.
