The National Trust has warned that many of its most cherished properties - including the Suffolk coast at Dunwich - could be damaged forever by climate change over the next 40 years.
It has produced a map showing the impact of global warming leading to more extreme weather phenomena including more destructive storms, heatwaves and periods of drought.
And while some areas - like the Suffolk coast - would be changed by natural forces, climate change will accelerate these so things could happen much faster than expected.
The National Trust is looking to preserve its heathland at Dunwich.

But the famous estate is under threat from climate change and could be irreparably damaged in just a few decades without preventative action, the National Trust has said.
The number of its sites that are at risk from a changing climate is set to more than double by 2060, the charity warned.
