English Heritage/National Trust

One place for both NT and EH members is Stonehenge but only English NT members. We've always belonged to the Scottish National Trust so get a reasonable senior membership nowadays. We joined EH last year as we were visiting Hadrian's Wall and we've also used it for Stonehenge. To rejoin EH this year on a DD cost £58 for two of us. We'll be visiting Northumberland again but in the SW there's not quite so much to see.

Apart from those mentioned the only other EH property that I can find in their handbook that's free for NT members is Housesteads Roman Fort.

Cheers Nell.

I can’t recall if you can enter Avebury Manor with EH membership.  It’s definitely National Trust.  We went there last year.  You can access the stone circle, however, without having to enter the actual property as it has gates directly off the road.  I don’t think we saw anything that said you must have paid, or scanned your membership card, to enter the stone circle.  Being both a member and National Trust volunteer (at another property) I wouldn’t be advocating entering without payment if it were necessary.

We are a member of both and it has saved us a fortune when we are away visiting places. 

EH members can get into Edinburgh Castle for free as well,  Saved us about £40

EH members can get into all Historic Scotland Properties and Cadw properties for free after a full years membership. It’s half price before then.

Only after you have been a member for more than a year. For the first year you only get 50% off. However, that was more than made up for by not having to stand in a 30 minutes plus queue, as there was a separate entry point for Scottish and English Heritage members.😀 When we went to Stirling Castle a few years later that was then free. Although it didn't extend to the parking, which was free for Scottish Heritage but us foreigners had to pay.😂

The situation at Stonehenge is strange. Despite their website, there is no such organisation as “National Trust England”. There is The National Trust, which covers England, Wales and Northern Ireland. They have reciprocal arrangements with Scotland (and 14 other countries), so it might be worth contacting the National Trust in Scotland to ask why Stonehenge is not following this reciprocity.

Stonehenge is owned by the Crown and it's managed by English Heritage with the NT owning the surrounding land. Other international reciprocations have not been allowed either.

I am not sure if it is still applicable, i know that in the past any cc site on National trust land,was available to NT members  to stay at cc members rate.

Ps is NT Scotland still cheaper than National trust in other parts of the UK?
