The National Trust
-
The National Trust works to preserve and protect the coastline, countryside and buildings of England, Wales and Northern Ireland

The National Trust differs from Cadw because it is a charity and relies solely on donations, membership fees and revenue raised from commercial ventures for its funding

The National Trust was established in the 19th Century to protect British buildings, parks and coastlines against the effects of urbanisation and industrialisation
