We care for many buildings and other historic features related to transport, from Roman remains to canals of the early industrial period, military airfields to foot bridges.

Conwy Suspension Bridge in Wales, designed and built by Thomas Telford, replaced the ferry in 1826, which was previously the only means of crossing the river. The toll-keeper’s house has recently been restored and furnished as it would have been a century ago.

Lacock Abbey boasts a handsome 16th-century stable courtyard with its half-timbered gables, clockhouse brewery and bakehouse, and an 18th-century pack-horse bridge can be seen in Lacock Village.

The story of Surrey's River Wey Navigations is told at Dapdune Wharf. The Wey was one of the first British rivers to be made navigable. Visitors can see where the huge Wey barges were built and climb aboard Reliance, one of the last surviving barges.

Visitors to Coniston Water in Cumbria can take a cruise on the Victorian steam-powered yacht Gondola, first launched in 1859. It has been completely rebuilt by the Trust, and provides a passenger service in its opulently upholstered saloons.

The restored Tamar sailing barge Shamrock is moored at Cotehele in Cornwall.
