English Heritage/National Trust

Yes this does happen at some places, and I'm not sure why but some seem to be cross-managed. It happens also with the Scottish versions of HS and NTS. Jedburgh Abbey is one (I think)

Post edit. Some memories are stirring, might be it is when the site is owned by one but managed by the other?

Yes Fountains Abbey is indeed a dualled Site. There are a few, usually one owns the Site but the other runs it. I can’t think of any others at the moment🤔

Stonehenge is an EH site but NT membership got us free entry.

Yes that’s how it works Corners. I was wondering about Stonehenge Tinny., Avebury might be the same.🤔

I’ve been to Avebury but it was many years ago. I think it was the same arrangement but I can’t swear to it.

Mount Grace Priory is the one I was trying to remember. I know we were a bit annoyed, because it’s run by EH, who are very dog friendly, but owned by National Trust, who are less so. Hence the dogs couldn’t go round with us. They were in the process of carrying out a survey, so I think it might be dogs in certain areas now, but don’t quote me!

Is there anything official on either of the 2 organisations websites? I can't find anything on NT.

Be interesting to know if there is a list where duality applies.

Hardwick old hall is also a cross managed site, you can get access with NT or EH cards. The new hall and gardens plus parking is NT only.

Don't think this will help you, WN, but there is a list of associated properties which have a tie up with EH in the back of their handbook. Most of them offer a discount to EH members although a few are free. I can't see many other NT properties that are tied in like Fountains Abbey.

Maybe someone who next visits an EH site could make enquiries. Just interested.

Thanks for the replies everyone.
