The National Trust is the UK’s biggest conservation charity seeking to preserve the beauty and history of the UK. They seek to provide historic sites, beautiful landscapes and the vast countryside to the general public so that all have access to quiet, beauty and space.
They currently care for 780 miles of coastline, 250,000 hectares of land as well as 500 historic buildings, including parks and gardens and around a million works of art.
One key place they oversee in Northern Ireland is Florence Court which is a Georgian style mansion which used to be inhabited by the Cole family for nearly 250 years and lies in West Fermanagh.
