There’s plenty to keep the little ones busy this half term. Travel back in time and watch medieval siege engines in action or discover what life was like in a Victorian cotton mill. If you want to escape into the outdoors, why not get closer to nature and learn how to identify flowers or build your own nest box for birds?
A cheerful sight on a woodland walk, riverside ramble or garden stroll, snowdrops are a welcome sign that spring will soon be on its way. Find out where you can spot snowdrops near you.

Whether it's the place you fell in love, somewhere to escape the bustle of everyday life, or where you go to get closer to nature, we all make special connections with different places. These are the places that make us who we are. For Mal, the Gower Peninsula in Wales has helped him come to terms with a life-changing injury, and make a group of life-long friends along the way. Join Mal and his walking group as they head out, sharing memories, laughter, and lots of singing.
There’s a host of ways to use National Trust membership on a regular basis, even if you've got just an hour to spare or a few days. Change up your exercise routine, unearth some local history or enjoy an evening out.
