English Heritage Gift Membership - help keep heritage alive & strong
If you're looking for heritage gifts for anyone who loves British heritage, the English past and historic gardens, you could give them a Gift of Membership to English Heritage. (There's a special offer on at the moment, too!)
English Heritage care for over 400 historic buildings, monuments and sites from the prehistoric to the Medieval, the Roman to the Cold War. And they bring the story of England to life – you can stand and be where history has happened. Many of their sites will be known to you, such as Stonehenge, Dover Castle, Tintagel, Hadrian’s Wall and Kenilworth Castle.
Walk and stand where history happened!
English Heritage is a registered charity (no 1140351) and they work hard to help people discover history through experience and being in the places where it happened, rather than just reading about it in books. So you can walk in the footsteps of Queen Elizabeth I at Kenilworth Castle, or wander through the grounds of Down House, just as Charles Darwin did. You can visit Boscobel, where King Charles II hid from soldiers in the oak tree for a day, and wonder what it would have been like to have been a member of the family of the Dukes of Northumberland at Warkworth Castle.
So there’s plenty to see and do and English Heritage has lots of events on throughout the year.
Hadrian's Wall is under the care of English Heritage
English Heritage has 400 sites open to the public so there's lots to explore and plenty of walks to enjoy.

English Heritage know very well that families are all different - you'll have nature lovers in some, high energy people in others, some who have a love of history and heritage or perhaps creativity. So they've got help for you to find that perfect day out for you and your family here with an online guide! And there's no reason why your four-legged member of the family should stay at home - there are plenty of dog friendly properties to choose from - fetch more information on dog friendly properties here. Please remember not to leave your dog in a car.
So what's on at English Heritage?
 | There are Winter Walks, perfect for exploring the great outdoors and getting everyone moving after all the Christmas feasting! English Heritage tell you about the distances of those walks they've got online and the difficulty level - please always check conditions before you set out and make sure you're wearing sensible gear. This could be a great time to plan places you want to visit when the weather improves, too. Next time you're visiting elsewhere in the country, for instance, why not see if you can pop in and visit an English Heritage property along the way, instead of stopping at a motorway station? Find out the places you can visit here. |
Take a look at the Winter Warmers, the Victorian Way, from the kitchens! Some of them I wouldn't try, but there's a carrot cake, cucumber soup, splits and scones (whatever a split is, must watch the video) an apple and crumb pudding - just take a look at the playlist of videos and see if you feel like giving any of them a go!
And this could be a good time to look through the pages on the Story of England - from before AD43, so Prehistory, through the Romans, Early Medieval, Medieval, Tudors, Stuarts, Georgians, Victorians and the twentieth century. Delve into the past from the comfort of home here
English Heritage have a number of priorities:
- to inspire, thus creating an interest in history and times past to pass on through the generations;
- to conserve, caring for historic sites and artefacts, and being leading experts in the field of conservation;
- to involve more people in the work they do, including to boost member engagement through visits to their sites;
- and to have financial stability, in part by increasing the membership, and giving members a reason to stay with them.
