From end of Tuesday 24 March, we closed all our car parks to further restrict the spread of coronavirus. This followed the decision to close our parks and gardens in addition to our houses, shops and cafes. We urge people to stay local and observe social distancing. Please do not travel.
While you can't get to visit National Trust places for the time being, rest assured we'll continue to bring nature, beauty and history into your own home. We'll brighten your days with things to do and be inspired by on our website. And we'll be looking after all those special places for when they're open again.

We care for more than 200 gardens and parks. From small secret hideaways and kitchen gardens to landscaped lawns, beautiful borders and acres of parkland. Explore our gardens from afar and see them blooming in their colourful spring glory.
We look after over 300 historic buildings, from the grand and imposing to the small and quirky. Explore our places from afar and discover some of the stories behind our houses and the inhabitants who shaped them and called them home.
