NATIONAL TRUST MEMBERSHIP HOLIDAY
​
Make the most of your National Trust membership by spending a week-long touring holiday with us in Sparkford. We are nearby to 15 great National Trust properties in Somerset and Dorset - enough to keep you busy for a fortnight - but we'll limit it to just 7 - after all, it's good to have something to return for next time!
​​
ARRIVE: Saturday
Book in for an early arrival with us and pitch up from 9:00 am.
Head over to our nearest National Trust property, Lytes Cary Manor. At just 5 miles away, it's a short trip after your journey to get to us in Somerset. Lytes Cary is open from 10:00 am, with the manor house opening at 11:00 am. The estate has 350 acres of farmland, woodland, meadows and a stretch of the River Cary. An arts and crafts style garden encompasses a medieval manor house; a chapel completed in 1348; farm buildings and a small tearoom. Lytes Cary Manor is also dog-friendly.

Still looking for more? Book in for two extra days to explore two of South Somerset's best outdoor activities:
​
CADBURY HILLFORT: We are very lucky to be within a short walk of the Iron Age hillfort at South Cadbury, thought to be home to King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table. Cadbury Hillfort is a challenging walk from our park and a 500ft climb to the summit to reveal views across Somerset and Dorset.
​
THE NEWT IN SOMERSET: A magnificent Georgian country estate and gardens, The Newt spans over 300 acres of woodland, formal gardens and working farmland. With an on-site excavated Roman villa and accompanying museum; a bee-zantium and even their own crystal-lined wyvern grotto, there's enough to keep you busy for a week, let alone a day! The Newt is sponsor of the Chelsea Flower Show, so you'll find some stunning gardens inspired by Emily Hobhouse and The Newt's South African sister estate, Babylonstoren.
