Historic Houses AssociationMany people have heard of the National Trust and know about the value of an NT membership. Some have heard of the English Heritage and their membership card, which allows free entry to hundreds of historic properties around the UK. But there's another organisation that travelers to Britain need to consider. Its the Historic Houses Association (HHA).
The HHA is an association of over 1300 privately owned historic houses (stately homes), parks and gardens throughout England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Included in the HHA are such national treasures as Althorp, Glamis Castle, and Castle Howard. Beyond these "big names" there are hundreds of wonderful historic manors and lesser known houses such as Great Dixter (East Sussex) and gardens like West Dean, near Chichester. A membership in the HHA carries with it free entry to about 300 HHA properties, a quarterly magazine called "Historic House", and optional discount tours especially arranged for members. Membership is valid for 12 months from purchase. Most historic houses have entry fees in the range of £6 - £9 or more per adult, and the amounts can eat into a traveller's budget quickly. Current membership fees in the HHA are £32 single £50 double. If you plan to visit more than a few historic houses in Britain, an HHA membership will quickly pay for itself.
