I know what you're saying LS, but a cordoned off area would look horrible. The less clutter the better!
But maybe the thing with the "show" sites that get lots of day trippers (some of whom might be inspired to get more interested and, dare I say, obsessed!) is to accept that a certain amount of wear and tear is inevitable. And fund the repairs/upkeep from the National Trust car park/cafe/shop, etc, rather than using that money to do up a stately home.
