The National Trust was founded in 1895 by three Victorian
philanthropists concerned about the impact of uncontrolled
development and industrialisation. They set up the Trust to act
as a guardian for the nation in the acquisition and protection of
threatened coastline, countryside and buildings.
Currently the Trust cares for over 248,000 hectares of countryside
in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, plus almost 600 miles of
coastline and more than 200 buildings and gardens of outstanding
interest. Most properties are held in perpetuity and so their
future protection is secure. The vast majority are open to
visitors.
They are a registered charity and relying heavily on the
generosity of subscribing members and other supporters.
