The National Trust is devoted to protecting and managing Britain's special places—including historic buildings and gardens and nature preserves. Now you can visit more than 100 of these important sites in England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland…all without the steep airfare and entrance fees! From grand country manors (Attingham Park in Shropshire, the most-visited house in the Midlands; Anne Boleyn's birthplace, Blickling Hall in Norfolk) to stately ruins (Dorset's Corfe Castle, built by William the Conqueror; Hadrian's Wall in Northumberland, erected as the border of the Roman Empire) to gorgeous landscapes (the spectacular gardens of the Mount Stewart estate in Northern Ireland, rugged Glencoe in the Scottish Highlands), these historic sites—explored in vivid photographs and insightful text—are breathtaking treasures indeed!
