With National Trust life membership there’s more than 500 special places to explore, all year round, as often as you like.

And thanks to the money from your membership we’ll be able to keep these places special for ever for everyone.

Coronavirus update

We're reopening the places you love, gradually, safely and in step with government advice. Our houses, gardens and parklands remain closed for now, in line with the rules about ticketed venues. But we're opening some of our coast and countryside car parks in England, so you can get out into green spaces. You'll need to book for some of them. Some coast and countryside car parks in Northern Ireland will start to reopen from 27 May. For now, all car parks in Wales have to remain closed on government advice.
