Historic houses · South East England
Stately home itinerary: 10 NT flagships
Ten National Trust properties that define the country-house tradition.
The National Trust owns over 300 historic houses, but ten in particular have defined British country-house tourism — for the architecture, the gardens, the family history or the sheer scale. We've sequenced them as a two-week tour starting in the south and ending in the north of England, but they work equally well as individual day trips.
