The National Trust acts as guardian to 230 of Britain’s finest historic properties. In this imaginative new departure, the Trust brings many of its immensely popular country houses to you in a beautifully produced CD-ROM.
Great houses from four centuries form the core of the disc — Hardwick Hall in Derbyshire, Ham House in Surrey, Saltram in Devon, and Lanhydrock in Cornwall — with a wealth of contemporary material from other houses.
Presented by the familiar voices of John Julius Norwich and Joanna David, the CD fully exploits video, audio, interactive 3-D and special photography to guide you authoritatively through the history and treasures of these wonderful houses, their owners, builders and possessions – with fascinating glimpses of country house life through the centuries.
Links to the National Trust’s website provide up-to-date information on visiting each of the houses.
