Are you an outdoor enthusiast, and love walking on days out?
How often would you like to visit an NT? As most locations vary in price, on average you would expect to break even on your membership, if you visited a large house five times a year.
If you don’t make five excursions, some people consider it a charity contribution to keeping Britain well looked after.
Overall, it depends on how willing and able you are to visit National Trust properties. But you should also consider if the free parking will benefit other activities you enjoy doing, besides National Trust sites!
