Easter holiday fun at Cliveden

As a family, we’re often at our happiest when out and about on an adventure together. Like everyone else, we’ve been very limited with our outdoor adventures but with restrictions easing, it was lovely to be able to book some days out at a couple of our favourite places. Cliveden is our favourite out of… Read More

Late summer fun at Cliveden

We finished off the summer holidays with a day out at Cliveden. Cliveden is one of our favourite National Trust properties. Although we’ve visited it quite a few times, it’s such a huge estate that there are still lots of areas we’ve yet to explore. This time we decided to pick up a map and… Read More

A walk around Osterley Park

Osterley Park is a beautiful Georgian country estate on the outskirts of London, not far from Heathrow airport. It’s one of those places where one minute you’re driving down a busy main road and then you pass through the gates and the hustle and bustle is suddenly left behind and you’re surrounded by green space… Read More

Enjoying family time together at Hughenden

20/08/2020

Family days out have been a rare occurrence this year. I miss being able to just jump in the car and head out for a spontaneous day out somewhere. We’ve never been the best at planning ahead for days out. Now we have to be more organised; book days out in advance; make sure we… Read More

A walk around Cliveden

Our National Trust membership cards have been gathering dust for much of this year. It was nice to finally be able to use them and venture out for a day out at Cliveden at the start of the summer holidays. We pre-booked our timed-entry tickets online the week before. We had to arrive within our… Read More

A brief visit to Lanhydrock

One of the things I love about having National Trust membership is how it gives you so many options of places to visit around the country without the pressure of feeling like you need to pay a proper visit to get your full money’s worth. It’s been great for stop-offs on long journeys or when… Read More

A walk around Charlecote Park

I like to break up a car journey with a walk around a National Trust property. It’s much nicer than stopping at service stations and gives us an opportunity to visit places that we might not have otherwise visited. We’re gradually ticking off the ones off the M40 on various journeys to and from Birmingham.… Read More
