National Trust in the Midlands

Soak up the colours, sounds and smells of the season at the gardens we care for across the region.

All across the Midlands we care for walks to suit everyone. Short family walks, wildlife walks, history walks and more. Grab your boots and explore the outdoors.

Take time this summer to enjoy the bautiful colours and grace of our native butterflies.

Let imaginations run wild in open parkland or get lost in new adventures in our outdoor play areas. From getting back to nature in the woods at Clent to pretending to be an RAF pilot in Croome's themed play area.

Children don't need much to prompt their imaginations to run wild, and that's exactly what our '50 things' aim to do. Look closer, explore further and get stuck in to make the most of your family days out.

We love eating in the landscaped parklands of Croome in Worcestershire, or by the lake at Clumber Park in Nottinghamshire. Get your hamper together and choose one of these spots.

Discover historic houses, arts and crafts cottages and explore the spectacular Peak District in this varied part of the Midlands.
