The NT was originally set up to buy and protect land and without it much of our coast would have been swallowed up and destroyed by development. The houses came along later and are as much a liability as an asset and usually need £millions spent on them. I am happy to support them, England wouldn’t look the same without them. Joining the NT and visiting their properties is voluntary so what is there to complain about.National Trust have always been a rip off organization every thing they got they,ve had given them
My complaint is that there are huge numbers of people that cannot begin to afford to join the NT. It is very exclusive.Stone Henge is English Heritage but the surrounding land is National Trust and I believe both cards can be used.

The NT is also not above preventing owners of larger vehicles from parking at some locations.My complaint is that there are huge numbers of people that cannot begin to afford to join the NT. It is very exclusive.
Also there are large chunks of the coast path and beaches that cannot be accessed as the only car parks are NT and too expensive. This impacts on many families with young children who cannot afford to take them anywhere else...it was set up for 'the public good'.
They are a Charity and have to fund and invest for future maintenance. Their all day car park charge of £8 is less than many other coastal car parks.My complaint is that there are huge numbers of people that cannot begin to afford to join the NT. It is very exclusive.

They have millions invested in fossil fuels and mining. It wouldn't make much of a dent to do concessions so that everyone could enjoy our heritage.They are a Charity and have to fund and invest for future maintenance. Their all day car park charge of £8 is less than many other coastal car parks.
If they don’t invest for the future and pay for the upkeep there will be no heritage for anyone to enjoy. In July 2019 the National Trust stopped investing in fossil fuels and started divesting from them.They have millions invested in fossil fuels and mining.

But having a reduced rate for those who cannot afford to go at all can only increase their footfall and therefore their profits.If they don’t invest for the future and pay for the upkeep there will be no heritage for anyone to enjoy.

How do you assess and administer giving reduced rates? Parking charges are part of the cost of running a vehicle.But having a reduced rate for those who cannot afford to go at all can only increase their footfall and therefore their profits.
And just because other car parks charge a lot doesn't make it ok for the NT to do the same imho
Other organisations manage it and many car parks are cheap or free especially in Scotland or France for that matter.How do you assess and administer giving reduced rates? Parking charges are part of the cost of running a vehicle.
Oversized vehicle £15 parking (Over 5.5m) They are really having a laugh. Studland is National Trust and has MH parking bays. Yes you have to be a member but we do goto some houses.
