taken 8 years ago, 3 km from Plymstock, Plymouth, England
Saltram Park is centred on the 18th century designed landscape of Saltram which is owned and managed by the National Trust. Saltram is of exceptional interest as evidenced by its inclusion at Grade II* on the English Heritage Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic
interest and the array of listed buildings and structures which add to its uniqueness. The wider landscape of the Countryside Park also contains many historic features and evidence of past land use with fields divided by characteristic Devonshire hedge banks, the presence of quarries, and evidence of orchards, ponds and allotment gardens.
A National Trust is an organization dedicated to preserving the cultural or environmental treasures of a particular geographic region. They generally operate as private non-profit organizations, although some receive considerable support from their national government. The first such organization was the National Trust for Places of Historic Interest or Natural Beauty, which is the National Trust of England, Wales and Northern Ireland, formed in 1895 and operating as a charitable organisation.
