In total NT care for 28 castles, 707 miles (1,138 km) of coastline, 253,349 hectares (626,051 acres) of countryside, 66 nature reserves, 4,000 prehistoric monuments, all or part of 5 World Heritage sites, 215 houses and gardens, 149 registered museums, 127 factories, workshops and mines, 12 lighthouses, 2 gold mines, 78 mills, 57 historic villages, 43 pubs and much else besides. We are committed to maintaining the highest standards possible in the care and presentation of our properties, and to enabling people to be inspired by and enjoy them.
As our membership tops 3.5 million, visits to our countryside and coastal properties exceed 100 million and more than 49,000 volunteers rally to our cause each year, we can be confident a large portion of the public agrees.
