We travel quite a bit too, our family is spread all over the country and this would be so much better than stopping at the overcrowded service stations - thank you for the inspiration!New Girl in Toonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16656888897233646613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3505716782309030758.post-39419004407834597972018-01-25T21:31:53.402+00:002018-01-25T21:31:53.402+00:00I clicked on this post from the National Trust Fac...I clicked on this post from the National Trust Facebook page and I would agree with everything you say (my youngest would definitely be with you on the quality of the sausage rolls!) We have been members for a good few years now and actually decided to use some money we inherited to pay for life membership. I would add that in addition to your staycation point NT properties have been very useful for breaking long journeys. We have to travel quite far to visit family and try to find a NT near main roads to stop for food etc. Much nicer than motorway services, it’s worth the extra few miles! Clumber Park (Notts) or Nostell Priory (Yorks) near the A1, Hardwick Hall near the M1 (Derbyshire) and Little Moreton Hall near the M6 (Cheshire) are some of our favourites.Helennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3505716782309030758.post-88591506267133073432018-01-25T20:40:24.261+00:002018-01-25T20:40:24.261+00:00I didn't even hesitate when Mother in Law aske...I didn't even hesitate when Mother in Law asked us if we'd like to renew our membership for Christmas!New Girl in Toonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16656888897233646613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3505716782309030758.post-30027602074134446572018-01-25T20:39:45.360+00:002018-01-25T20:39:45.360+00:00Oh wow!

The best present ever. When our kids were.young we spent practically every weekend at gibside. I miss those days and don't visit as much as I'd like too. It's a real privilege to have national trust membership.

Great for holidays in this country and gives you a couple of "free" days out.

Also being a NT member means you get a discount at Cotswold Outdoors( outdoor clothing store) which is great. :)shazzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05865141472266504951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3505716782309030758.post-90246696413330512032018-01-23T09:54:16.301+00:002018-01-23T09:54:16.301+00:00Your photos are absolutely lush!

I love our NT membership although we haven't really got much use out of it as Matty has been so busy with studying for his masters the last few times he's been home. I hope to get more use out of it this year. (If he agrees to renew!)
