The National Trust for Places of Historic Interest or Natural Beauty, known as the National Trust, is a conservation organisation in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. The Trust does not work in Scotland, as they have a different National Trust.
The trust owns lots of historic houses and gardens, as well land such as beauty spots. To visit the place the National Trust owns, there is often a entry charge, although most beauty spots are free. The National Trust is one of the largest charities in the United Kingdom, and also one of the largest UK land owners.
