About Historic Britain

Historic Britain is a work in progress cataloguing Britain’s Heritage and your thoughts and experiences of it, we hope you can tell us what you think about each site, whether it’s a stretch of coastline or grand historic house, we’re waiting to hear.

By sharing your experiences you’re helping to build a truly useful resource that will be referenced for years, even decades to come. Photos are also important so if you’re willing to share some snaps we’ll be very glad to receive and publish them on the site. Please email them to us at photos@historicbritain.org telling us where and when they were taken.

Our goal is to have a page for every historic location in the UK, we’re not under-estimating this task so if you feel you can provide some information on a site that is not yet listed or feel you can improve upon what we currently have please send any contributions to contributions@historicbritain.org
