If you are a member of the English National Trust and want to save some money then join National Trust Scotland instead. You still get access to the England sites (amongst others) and on the whole you will make a large saving. I bought my Mum a joint senior membership and saved over £50 on the English National Trust prices because she was over 60, in England she would have also had to have been a member for a number of years to qualify but not for National Trust Scotland she could join as a new member. Happy Saving!

You won't get free parking at the many National Trust sites that have a chargeable car park. There are lots of coastal and countryside sites where there are car park charges.
It has been posted on here before that it is even cheaper by joining New Zealand or Bermuda's equivalent to the National Trust - they also get you access to the England sites

Good spot OP. Do bear in mind that these cheaper options don't always cover parking costs at NT properties like the more expensive memberships do. I looked into this a while back when we applied for the senior membership discount, which is when I discovered various cheaper options from as far afield as New Zealand and Guernsey, but in the small print it does point out that these cheaper deals do mean additional costs at the properties sometimes.

others will come on saying its cheaper at the New Zealand one or other but if you like to keep the money in the UK this is the best one, its much cheaper and the option to do direct debit is excellent, though thing the National Trust have also started this.

National Trust England are also changing car parking shortly. This will require the sticker in the window and also use of the membership card to get a parking ticket.

Our local NT property has recently introduced ticket machines whereas it used to be free parking (since you had to pay to enter the property). I suspect many properties where it used to be free to park will be like this so you'll always end up paying if you don't have the NT membership.

We got the family New Zealand one - never had any issues with it - apart from feeling crap when being grilled on where we live in New Zealand and if we're having a good holiday. At this point, the Mrs & kids turn completely mute as I do my Chips O'Toole impression...G'day mate!
