Pause Play

Cycling festival

This summer we're celebrating cycling with a festival devoted to the humble bike. Drop in to one of our participating places between 16 & 24 July to join us on a guided ride, bike maintenance workshop, ride a new trail or hire a bike and explore by yourself. If you can't wait 'til then, you can download one of our routes and head out without delay.

Rainy day fun

Don't let the weather put you off having a grand day out. If the skies look grey, check out our guide to wet weather fun - packed full of ideas to keep the family entertained both in our houses and out in the great outdoors. If it's sunny, why not pack up a picnic and enjoy a bite to eat surrounded by some amazing parkland and countryside?

Visit a film set

Did you know that National Trust places feature in several of the Harry Potter movies? Or that Tim Burton shot Alice in Wonderland at Antony in Devon? Add a spot of drama to a day out when you use our movie map to walk in the footsteps of the stars.
