Landmark Trust

The Landmark Trust is a building preservation charity that saves historic and architecturally interesting properties and their surroundings from ruin and once restored, these properties that are dotted around the UK are available for holiday letting. Choose from 200 historic buildings across Britain for your self-catering holiday, and at the same time, you will be saving another historic building from neglect and disrepair.

UNIQUE EXPERIENCE

By renting one of Landmark's properties (either by the week or out of season for short breaks), you get the opportunity to live in a historic building as if it were your own. Perfect for large family gatherings or a romantic weekend for two, the Landmark Trust's website whets the appetitie as to what is on offer. In order to choose a property, you will need to buy the book, which costs £10. This can be done online or through a number of outlets. The cost of this is refundable against a booking or can be a donation. Do not let this deter you from investigating further as the properties truly are something else.

You can check availability online and then book by telephone.

FROM FOLLY TO MEDIEVAL HALL

The choice of houses is stunning and you can read some sample pages from the book online. All the houses are equipped to a high standard with a small library of books and maps on the area. The Trust also has four houses in Italy and one in Vermont.

SECURING THE FUTURE

The Landmark Trust has rescued more than 200 buildings since it was founded in 1965 by the late Sir John Smith. The letting income pays for ongoing maintenance and ensures a secure future. Read about the Trust's history, the houses it has saved and ongoing appeals.
