In the UK there are two factions National Trust and British Heritage.

Get a British Heritage pass look it up on the net.

And buy the Australian National Trust member****p, who have reciprocal 
rights to the british National Trust properties, which is cheaper than 
the English National trust pass.

Check which properties you want to see. Most are good toilet stops. 
There is a free book available from the National Trust listing the 
property details including the opening days/times, the AA road map has 
all the sites marked one has a leaf the other a castle.

We have the Australian National trust member****p and paid to enter the 
other sites. Let me say you get sick of castles. You will get more than 
enough from the National trust properties.

You can get a 4 day pass to see thing around and in London Tower of 
London etc. Check that one out.
