Heritage Card Attractions
The list of places to which a Heritage Card gives free access is long, some are very well known, some little known. Some are free to enter even without a card, others are expensive enough to practically save you cost of the card with just a couple of visits.
<strong>From July 5th until the end of 2011, ALL of these places are free to enter every Wednesday.</strong>
We have ordered them here by County, since that is pretty much how they are likely to be visited.
