If you click a link with an * to go through to a provider, we may get paid. This usually only happens if you get a product from it. This is what funds our team of journalists, and keeps us free to use. Yet there are two crucial things you need to know about this.
- This never impacts our editorial recommendations – if it's in, it's in there because we independently rate it best.
- You'll always get as good a deal (or better) than if you went direct.

What does it get you?
Free entry and parking at more than 300 historic houses, gardens and nature reserves across England, Wales and Northern Ireland, plus free admission to properties of the National Trust for Scotland. You also get a pair of binoculars, a members' handbook and three editions of the charity's magazine.
Places you can visit for free with membership include Winston Churchill's family home (Chartwell, Kent), Beatrix Potter's 17th-century farmhouse (Hill Top, Cumbria), Agatha Christie's holiday home (Greenway, Devon) and George Bernard Shaw's writing shed (Shaw's Corner, Hertfordshire).
You may sometimes have to pay for parking or entry to specific areas and special events at certain times of the year (eg, Easter egg hunts), so always check in advance.
Is it worth it?
Even with the discount, National Trust membership is only good value if you're going to get your money's worth by visiting lots of stately homes and gardens. For example, for a family to visit Basildon Park house and grounds in Reading (a Downton Abbey filming location) would cost £30+ without membership.
If you live near a National Trust property you visit often, or you regularly travel around to see historic homes and gardens, a membership will normally pay for itself after three or four separate days out.
One extra thing to weigh up is that you have to pay for 12 months upfront to get the discount.
Important: The discounted annual price is an introductory rate for the first year of membership, so once the money's taken from your account you can cancel the direct debit if you want to avoid automatically being charged for a full-price membership next year.
