Most of these are listed buildings, and most listed buildings are private homes, terraces, walls and milestones rather than places to visit. The scheduled monuments are the older layer: earthworks, ruins, barrows and the remains of things that have no roof left.

See all of it on one map
Visit History draws every site above on a single map, so you are not checking seven organisations one at a time. It also carries the Environment Agency LiDAR survey, which shows the shape of the ground itself, and six editions of Ordnance Survey mapping from 1885 onwards. Earthworks that are invisible on the ground and unmarked on modern maps are often obvious on both.
