Visit every English Heritage property is the third of my meta bucket lists. The previous two were to visit UNESCO and National Trust properties. With this bucket list I am planning on doing the same as the previous two that is to visit every property that English Heritage owns.
There are currently 392 English Heritage properties on my to visit bucket list. That is quite a large amount to visit, I am planning to try and visit a couple of them on each trip out. I have removed dupliciate properties from my list such as Stonehenge that is also a UNESCO site.
English Heritage is a charity in the United Kingdom that works in a similar way to the National Trust. It was formed in 1983 as a government department under the name Historic Buildings and Monuments Commission for England. It was then merged with two other departments in 1999.
In 2015 it was split into two entities;
- Historic England: Which is in charge of protection functions of the parent organisation.
- English Heritage: Which is in charge of operating the properties.
Below is my list of properties split down into area of England. As complete my visits and create my reports I will update this page with links to them.
