In the case of English Heritage, entry is usually free to members whilst a small additional fee is payable for National Trust events. Both organisations also hold concerts, operas and plays at selected venues. We are not directly connected in any way to these organisations but are just extremely satisfied members. Between the organisations there are about 650 houses, castles, abbeys, etc. that you can visit. The information given is believed to be accurate and has been gleaned from talking to the wardens at the various sites and from the guide and other books.
Any errors are our own.
Entry details have not been given since they vary from year to year. Most are open from Easter to the end of October but some properties shown may be closed for repair. You are advised to always check that a property is open before travelling. Some may also not appear quite as we have shown them since reconstruction and preservation is an ongoing task for the organisations concerned and it is up to 5 years ago that we last visited certain sites. Interiors of National Trust properties, in particular, are not shown since inside photography is not generally permitted.
