Hi,

I wonder if anyone here can help me? I am considering membership to the National Trust and am trying to find out if this would qualify me for any discounts on their Sites......

I have phoned them directly but the chap I spoke to wasn't too sure but seemed to think I should be able to use them for free although as I say didn't seem to sure on what he was saying.....

I proceeded to phone two Sites in the Lake District and they both said I would recieve no discount something to do with the way the national Trust 'enterprise' is run........

Has anyone any experience with this who could advise please?

thanks for reply....

Although I think anyone can stay on these sites but they are run as first come first serve......

I may well join anyway but would have been a big bonus to get discounted stays at their campsites too......

Thanks for the reply widget will be getting a membership asap....

Looks like they have some lovely places to visit.....

It's also worth joining up for free car parking on NT carparks.

We go to Godrevy Beach in Cornwall which was £3.50 a time so over the holiday we were well on to using half the annual family membership costs.

Would be good if we got discount on the campsites too though???

I didn't know you got free car-parking ... we were put off going to Studland Beach a couple of years ago as we arrived mid-afternoon and the charge was still the all-day charge of £5 to park. We love being NT members as there are a couple locally we can just wander around the gardens in, which the children love and we usually find 1 or 2 to visit when away on holiday. Lovely way to introduce the children to living culture and heritage.  I've also looked at the campsites, brilliant locations, but usually need a loo, which we haven't got.
