English Heritage has accepted a £1.25m donation from Airbnb to support its bid to “boost heritage tourism” and to continue the conservation of the UK’s most important historical attractions and houses.

The donation to the charity, which acts as a custodian to the country’s architectural legacy, follows the launch of the rental giant’s new historical homes category in July, which includes listings for historic places in which to stay.
