We’ve had National Trust membership for years now and National Trust sites are always one of the first places we look at when planning a family day out. There aren’t that many National Trust days out in Berkshire but they are still some of our favourites in the South East and places that we go to as often as we can.

So here are our favourite Berkshire National Trust days out:

Basildon Park – Lower Basildon, Reading, Berkshire RG8 9NR

Sitting elegantly in 400 acres of historic parkland and gardens, the 18th-century house was purchased by Lord and Lady Iliffe in the 1950s, when it was de-requisitioned after the Second World War. With extraordinary vision, the Iliffes brought Basildon Park back to life, acquiring a collection of fine furnishings and carefully selected Old Masters.

The wooded parkland offers glorious seasonal colour, with spring bluebells, summer buttercups and autumn leaves, while the landscape has been carefully restored to offer wonderful views, peaceful trails and picnic places, with areas for children to run and play.
