Ovis aries Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Thinking of joining, anyone has, is it worth it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostyn6 Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 funny you say that, the National Trust were in at one of the sites I occasionally work at last week, offering discounted membership. Something that interested me, but my only mate who enjoys a bit of fresh air and scenery @TroyDyer is now a very very busy man juggling about 7 careers at the same time, so I gave it a miss. But yeah, I'd personally love to see more of what this little island has to show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyinLiverpool Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 We've been members for quite a few years. We like Castles and what-have-you, so we tend to use the membership a lot. Places regularly have activities for kids, as well as walks in the grounds etc.We are also quite near Formby beach and woods (with its red squirrels) so we use our membership there quite a bit.Well worth it for us.

Stive Pesley Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Have you checked out English Heritage in comparison?Both are a similar annual cost and both have a similar number of propertiesDefinitely worth checking the list and deciding which properties you are most likely to want to seePersonally I think English Heritage has the more interesting sites, but that's just my preference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LesterRam Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 I looked to join when I visited a castle in Somerset, the advisor said east mids doesn't have too many attractions in this neck of the wood so I passed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They certainly both seem to have the same sort of collection of stately homes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CornwallRam Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 National Trust is an independent charity and an enormous landowner. English Heritage is actually an arm of the government. As well as running historic properties which are owned by the nation, they also regulate the preservation of all significant historic properties and built environments - e.g. listed buildings, conservation areas and planning consent.
