Trusty the Hedgehog

Trusty the Hedgehog is the National Trust mascot, helping children learn about the environment and wildlife.

He has his own website at www.trusty.org. This includes games, competitions and activity sheets. Children can write to Trusty about what they got up to at one of our properties. Some letters and competition entries are added to the site.

Trusty also makes special appearances at events all over the country, from time to time. Look out for him at family-friendly events.

Family-friendly facilities

Family-friendly facilities like special parking areas, high chairs and baby feeding and changing areas are widely available at our properties. In the restaurants you will find children’s menus and colouring sheets. Some properties allow you to borrow baby slings or reins for toddlers and there is usually space for storing buggies and prams. Please ask property staff for more details and assistance. It's a good idea to check what facilities your local property offers before you visit.

You can search for a place to visit with family facilities on this website.
