We have tried both and think they are over priced taking into consideration how many sites you visit in a year. We are not bothered with homes and castles as they are two a penny and once you have seen one, you have seen them all. We like exploring Roman ruins as find them a lot more interesting.

Depends what you're interested in. We don't visit Roman ruins - after all, when you've seen one.............
It's not just the architecture of stately homes or castles that interests us, but the story of the families who have lived there. There's also the grounds and gardens.
As for the cost, some I do think are over priced, but over the year, it works out remarkably good value. And don't forget about the free car parking in many locations.

Two drifters off to see the world.
I'm tired of reality, so I'm off to look for a good fantasy.

Each to their own. I'm a landscape historian, OH is an architect, so every house and every garden is different & interesting for us. It's the Roman ruins that look the same! but we have few above ground ruins up here: hard to get excited about the mounds of a Roman camp in a field.

2025=3 sites, 5 nights; 2024 = 20 sites / 41 nights. 2023 = 9/23. 2022 = 13/35. 2021 = 11/29. 2020 = 4/20. 2019 = 13/35. 2018 = 20/33. 2017 = 10/22. 2016 = 19/33. 2015 = 15 sites / 27 nights. Didn't count 1976 to 2014.

I find both are extremely good value for money.
We have visited 62 NT sites in the last two years and at least the same number of EH sites spread over the last five years

Here's two more that find NT membership worthwhile, wonderful properties, coast walking, countryside walking, parkland, gardens, holiday activities for the grandchildren, wonderful old fashioned christmas tide, free buggy rides for disabled, exhibitions, parking, and its charitable giving.
We belong to English Heritage as well, love the ruined properties, take the grandchildren for battle re enactments and history themes.
Once took 1 grandchild and three adults to Peppa pig world....cost us more for one visit than NT membership for whole year (and more)!

I can believe that! Our twins are now 16 years old and have to pay adult price for everything despite being legally classed as children and entirely financial dependent on us!
