Issue 158 - Spring 2023

Spring 2023 audio edition highlights We hope the spring issue of National Trust Magazine will inspire you to get out and about to experience all the season has to offer.

Find out how we’ve been working with people and other conservation charities to start conversations about nature, and come up with a plan to protect it for future generations.

We’re also sharing a preview of a new book by Trust curators, in which they delve into the stories of 100 of the most remarkable books and manuscripts in our care. Meanwhile younger readers, and the young at heart, can go behind the scenes of the new Children’s Country House Museum at Sudbury Hall in Derbyshire, where everyone can enjoy hands-on history in a thoroughly new way.

Finally enjoy the best show of the season with a round-up of places to discover spring blossom, from historic orchards to urban streets fizzing with flowers.
