What is The National Trust?
The National Trust is a fantastic way to explore the UK’s rich history, culture, and natural beauty. Membership offers access to over 500 stunning properties, including historic homes, castles, gardens, and miles of scenic trails, ensuring there’s something for everyone. For families, it’s especially appealing, as children under five enter for free, and a family membership covers up to 10 kids. Many properties are family-friendly, with plenty of activities to keep children engaged, from interactive exhibits to treasure hunts. Additionally, several sites feature fantastic play parks, adventure trails, and natural play areas, making it a perfect option for an affordable, educational, and fun day out that brings history and nature to life for all ages.
