Children on a school trip

We offer free educational visits to over 400 historic sites in England from Roman forts to Tudor Castles and Victorian gardens.  Some sites also offer expert-led Discovery Visits which support the national curriculum across a range of subjects and all key stages, especially KS2 and KS3.  We also provide downloadable hazard information sheets for each of our sites and a wide range of teaching resources.  Book your visit and use our spectacular sites to bring the past to life, spark a life-time interest in history and teach just about everything!
