Every property is a joy to visit, visitor facilities are usually to a high standard, but our biggest benefit of membership is free use of car parks for coastal & countryside walks (esp on holiday in Cornwall & Pembs). There are constant improvements and we’ve noticed more effort going into improving & protecting natural wildlife habitat on National Trust land as well. Latest visit was Lacock. Although the house itself was closed for winter, the photography exhibit, abbey cloister, second hand book shop and cafe (for a cheese jacket) were all open. Staff & volunteers v helpful. Shop is in the pretty village a short walk away. A national treasure.
