Founded to preserve and provide access to places of natural beauty or historical significance, the National Trust is one of the world's leading conservation organisations dedicated to preserving Britain's landscape. From ancient forests to historic houses and gardens, the Trust looks after more than a quarter of a million hectares of land, including over 770 miles of coastline and thousands of archaeological monuments across England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Richard Madden has been a travel writer specialising in 'Adventure Travel' for more than 25 years, ten years of which as Adventure Travel Editor of The Telegraph. He has visited all seven continents and crossed the Andes on horseback, crewed a Whitbread Round the World boat, cycled across America and skydived with the Red Devils. Now his next challenge is to find everything that is great about Britain and make the ultimate must-do list.
