In England we trust

Whilst most of these posts consider things to IN London, today, I thought I would venture outside of my metaphorical box.

I present to you – The National Trust – a famous institution aimed at preserving England’s beautiful estates and gardens.

Although for many, a trip to a National Trust estate is a by-word for an OAP’s fun day out, this need not result in the younger generation missing out on England’s beauty.

With over 300 places to visit (many of which have overnight accommodation), a National Trust experience can make a wonderful getaway. Whether you find yourself in a Medieval castle or walking amongst gorgeous landscapes, I guarantee that your hours/days/weeks will be very enjoyable.

Whilst entry to the estates and gardens cost on average £10, the purchase of a (heavily discounted) young person’s annual membership for those between 13-25yrs, is £22. This will get you in anywhere without needing a ticket. What’s more, those joining for the first time and paying by direct debit get the bargain price of £16!

Knowing this, I hope your National Trust image will be transformed from its former self to a more interesting and alternative young person’s recreational activity. Enjoy ;)
