what we do

| enterprises | protect the environment | education | trust holidays | membership | book a talk |



The National Trust works to preserve and protect the coastline, countryside and buildings of England, Wales and Northern Ireland. We do this in a range of ways, through practical caring and conservation, through educating and informing, and through encouraging millions of people to enjoy their national heritage.

Without our many members, visitors and volunteers we would be unable to carry on with our work. However, It is not just through visiting properties that you help us. Our many enterprises include the popular National Trust tea rooms and shops, and numerous people holiday in National Trust cottages or on short breaks with us every year.

With your help from these and other sources, we care for thousands of acres of countryside and coastline and over 200 buildings. Additionally, we have many long term programmes in place to help educate people about the importance of the environment and of preserving our heritage for future generations.
