    25 things that make Britain great

    With so many people choosing to make the most of home this year instead of going abroad for their summer holidays, we wanted to find out what you love about Britain.

    We asked the twittersphere to name their favourite things about Britain (if you're not following us on twitter, you can find us at www.twitter.com/nationaltrust), and used your comments to compile a top 25:

    1. Rockpools
    2. Allotments
    3. Rain
    4. Bandstands
    5. Fish and chips
    6. Red phone/post boxes
    7. Outdoor theatre
    8. Landscapes
    9. Cream teas
    10. Beaches and coastline
    11. Diversity
    12. Bunting
    13. Strawberries and cream
    14. Beer gardens and historic pubs
    15. Walks in the country
    16. Deckchairs
    17. Lawns and gardens
    18. Canopied lanes with dappled sunlight
    19. B&Bs and campsites
    20. British cheeses and sausages
    21. Cat and dog owning
    22. The seasons and 'real' weather
    23. Heritage
    24. Barbecues
    25. Real ale and cider

    Whatever your reasons for loving home, you can make the most of what we have to offer by finding a day out or holiday with the National Trust. See you there!
