English HeritageEnglish Heritage is the official government agency charged with looking after, well, English heritage!
What this means in practice is that English Heritage performs archaeological excavations, preserves ancient monuments and buildings, and administers heritage sites. Many of the most famous historic buildings and monuments in Britain (Stonehenge, for example) are under the care of English Heritage. One of the terrific things that EH gets up to is hosting special events at many of the properties they administer. They run an incredible array of events ranging from historical re-enactments of jousting to "Life in the Age of Chivalry" and exhibitions of medieval calligraphy. You can search the Days Out section of their website to find what's on, when and where, in planning your holiday. If you enjoy visiting historic castles and prehistoric monuments in England it is worth considering membership in English Heritage. A one year membership in 2008 costs just £42 for a single adult and £73 for a couple, and entitles you to free entry to English Heritage properties throughout England.
