NATIONAL TRUST (UK)
| 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. |
