Find out about the work we're doing to support Britain's independent heritage

Historic Houses represents the interests of over 1,400 historic houses, castles and gardens across the UK. Our places include some of Britain’s most iconic country houses and stately homes: between them, they welcome over 20 million visits a year, and are hubs of community, culture and tourism for their local areas. Historic Houses properties also make a significant contribution to their local economies, supporting around 30,000 FTE jobs and bringing £1 billion to the economy across the UK.

We campaign to ensure that Britain’s independent heritage can continue to continue to thrive not just in our lifetimes, but well into the future.
