For more than a century, Britain's National Trust has worked for the preservation of places of historic interest and national beauty throughout England, Wales, and Northern Ireland. "The National Trust Handbook" is a visitor's guide to the National Trust properties that are open to the public, including stately homes, gardens, castles, barns, and lighthouses. The "Handbook" lists more than 300 properties, and each has a brief description, address, telephone number, opening times, admission fee, travel directions, and details of the facilities on site. "The National Trust Handbook" will open up a world of riches to those traveling in Britain.
