Landmark Trust

The Landmark Trust is a British building conservationcharity, founded in 1965 by Sir John and Lady Smith, that rescues buildings of historic interest or architectural merit and then makes them available for holiday rental. The Trust's headquarters is at Shottesbrooke in Berkshire.

Most Landmark Trust properties are in England, Scotland and Wales. Several are on Lundy Island off the coast of north Devon, operated under lease from the National Trust. There are also seven Landmark Trust properties in Italy.

The Trust is a charity registered in England & Wales and in Scotland. An independent sister charity, The Landmark Trust USA, was originally a part of the Landmark Trust but has operated as a separate organisation since 1999. There are five properties in Vermont, USA, one of which, Naulakha, was the home of Rudyard Kipling in the 1890s. There is also an Irish Landmark Trust.

Those who rent Landmarks provide a source of funds to support restoration costs and building maintenance. The first rentals were in 1967 when six properties were available. The Trust's 200th property, Llwyn Celyn, opened for rental in October 2018. Landmark sites include forts, farmhouses, manor houses, mills, cottages, castles, gatehouses, follies and towers and represent historic periods from medieval to the 20th century.
