Gift Membership

If you're looking for the perfect gift – for a birthday, Christmas, Mother's Day, a retirement, or any other special occasion – you've just found it. Our membership is the special gift that lasts all year.

Instead of the usual flowers or chocolates, you’d be giving the gift of unlimited wonderful woodland walks, relaxing picnics and journeys into the past.

There really are so many simple pleasures for them to discover – who knows how many special memories are just waiting to be created.

Our gift membership allows your family, friend or loved one to enjoy some of the UK’s most breathtaking countryside, houses, gardens and coastline for a whole year.
