What will you discover?

Kids love having fun outdoors, exploring, cycling, climbing, discovering wildlife, storming castles, discovering history and ... getting muddy of course!

Did you know you’re never more than 40 minutes from a National Trust place, and often much closer, so great family days out are literally on your doorstep. 

May and June are great times to visit a National Trust garden. As the warmer weather arrives the gardens are a wealth of colour and scents, perfect for picnics! From the newly opened Modernist gem, High Cross House in Devon, to Tyntesfield - a fascinating Victorian home packed with 1000’s of objects and the Trust’s largest conservation project, or the fantastic new immersive experience at Chedworth Roman Villa, this is a great year to step through the doors of a National Trust property and see what they are up to.

You can talk to an expert, learn a new skill, enjoy some music or watch an historical re-enactment. Joining an event is a great way to make your day out amazing and you can find more information at www.nationaltrust.org.uk/southwest.

Average family entry to National Trust houses and gardens is only £17, and under 5s and members go free. You can explore some of the places you could be enjoying a family day out to this year on our photo gallery below.
