If you fancy getting out and about this summer to over 300 historic houses and gardens then why not join The National Trust? If you join online today you’ll receive 12 months’ membership for the price of nine when you pay by Direct Debit. Plus (and here’s the nice free bit) you’ll also receive a free pair of National Trust binoculars.

You will also receive the Member’s Handbook, newsletters, three copies of The National Trust Magazine, a car sticker and a map guide. If you’re thinking of visiting a Natioanl Trust property this Easter weekend then look out for free easter egg hunts too.

Now you might not fancy joining up, but are keen on knowing on what’s going on with The National Trust. The good news is they’ve just launched a new wildlife podcast service and this is free for everyone to download.

According to the site the monthly podcast “will cover one major wildlife story, meet a member of staff or volunteer who works to look after our wild world and catch up with the butterfly expert Matthew Oates on the hunt for our fluttering friends”.
