According to its website:
The National Trust (NT) is a major owner of buildings (some of the most significant in the countries it serves), and countryside and is a registered charity. It owns or protects roughly one fifth of the coastline and has a longterm campaign, Project Neptune, which seeks to acquire more coastline.
The NT's holdings have some protection by Act of Parliament (needs expanding). It is possible to visit many NT buildings and countryside areas, and it also runs some holiday cottages. Members of the public may join the Trust: in Spring 2003 it announced that it had recruited its 3 millionth member.
The Trust was founded in 1895 by Octavia Hill[?] (1838-1912), Sir Robert Hunter and Canon Hardwicke Rawnsley.
