The announcement comes after the UK government updated its advice on ticketed garden venues on May 23, confirming that people in England can now visit gardens and land maintained for public use.
From Wednesday, June 3, the Trust will begin a phased and gradual reopening of a small number of its gardens and parklands in England and Northern Ireland. Over the coming weeks more places will begin reopening. People will be able to book their tickets in advance on property web pages. They will be free for Trust members, and other visitors will pay an admission fee.
All the Trust’s houses, shops, holiday cottages and campsites remain closed in line with government guidelines.
Please also follow the Government's latest social distancing advice, staying alert and 2 metres apart where you can.
The booking system will be available on individual property web pages via www.nationaltrust.org.uk.
