English Heritage Locations Reviews

Although predominantly a cycling website we are proud members of the English Heritage and have been for over a year now. We are lucky to have two fantastic National Trust locations within 20 minutes of our house however we have recently delved into local English Heritage sites including Bolsover & Helmsley Castle. These are always fantastic places to entertain the kids and as a member, it’s a fuss-free day out. Best of all, most English Heritage locations are completely self-contained (especially the ones we choose to visit) meaning they are incredibly safe for the kids to roam.

Why English Heritage properties are great for kids

The English Heritage membership is a fantastic idea for families, particularly those with children. This membership offers a unique opportunity to turn history lessons into exciting, real-life experiences. Children can explore ancient castles, majestic palaces, and historic sites, making history tangible and far more engaging than just reading about it in textbooks.

Moreover, many of these sites boast expansive outdoor spaces, providing a perfect setting for children to play and learn in a natural, open environment. We love visiting the sites and plan many of our trips around an English Heritage or National Trust site. This section includes some of our recent trips and our opinion of the experience.
