Frequently asked questions

How many historic properties can I find near me with Land & Legacy?

Land & Legacy covers 2,045 historic properties across England, Scotland and Wales. The search includes castles, country houses, stately homes, abbeys, priories, gardens and archaeological sites. Results are drawn from seven organisations: the National Trust, English Heritage, Historic Environment Scotland, Cadw, Historic Houses, Historic Royal Palaces and the Churches Conservation Trust.

Which heritage organisations are included in the search?

The search covers seven major UK heritage organisations: the National Trust (NT), English Heritage (EH), Historic Environment Scotland (HES), Cadw (Wales), Historic Houses (HH), Historic Royal Palaces (HRP) and the Churches Conservation Trust (CCT). Land & Legacy is independent and not affiliated with any of these organisations.

Can I find National Trust properties near me?

Yes. National Trust properties are included in every search alongside English Heritage, Historic Houses and the other organisations. The organisation filter lets you narrow results to National Trust properties only, or see everything within range together.

Can I find historic houses accessible by train?

Use the "within 5 miles of a station" toggle to filter for properties accessible without a car. The search uses each property's nearest station distance to filter results, useful for day trips by rail from London, Manchester, Edinburgh, York and other cities.

What is the difference between Land & Legacy and the National Trust or English Heritage websites?

The National Trust and English Heritage websites only show their own properties. Land & Legacy is an independent guide that brings together sites from all seven major UK heritage organisations onto one map. It is not affiliated with any organisation and covers properties from all seven organisations in one place.
