Is The Hellfire Club on the National Inventory?
Yes: rated National (record 21826013).
Can you visit The Hellfire Club?

When was The Hellfire Club built?
Its National Inventory record dates it to 1680–1700.
Is The Hellfire Club protected?
Being on the National Inventory or the Sites and Monuments Record is a record, not protection by itself: buildings are protected by their council’s Record of Protected Structures, which each council keeps and no national open list gathers, so this page can’t say which are on it.
