Founded in 1995, the National Trust is a charity truly dedicated to its cause of preserving our nation’s heritage sites and open spaces to be enjoyed for years to come.

Today, the organisation maintains coastlines, beaches, forests, gardens, historic houses, pubs and more throughout the UK. Grab yourself a membership for free entry to hundreds of historic sites, and start exploring over 780 miles of coastline, 248,000 hectares of land and over 500 historic houses and castles - all with a story to tell.

As a charity, the National Trust greatly relies on the support of its members and volunteers, as well as funds raised through the online shop.
