WE JOINED THE NATIONAL TRUST AND HAD SOME FAB DAYS OUT

From: April 2009

A family membership costs £82 for the year and allows 2 adults and 2 children (with under fives free) free entry and parking at more 300 historic houses and gardens www.nationaltrust.org.uk. We had a fantastic Easter Sunday at Lanhydrock with an Easter Egg hunt around the beautiful gardens. Extra events included an egg and spoon race (well done Emily for fighting off stiff competition) and story telling amongst others. We also checked out Trelissick Gardens which we reached by catching King Harry's Famous chain ferry bridge operating across the River Fal www.kingharryscornwall.co.uk/ferries. Trelissick Gardens has a fantastic tea room which serves the most delicious cornish cream tea.
