We will do everything we can to help make your visits to our properties enjoyable. However, please be aware of the following points before setting out on a visit: Opening times and days vary considerably between properties, so please read the relevant information carefully or telephone the property in advance to be sure. The National Trust reserves the right to amend opening arrangements at any time, should this prove necessary.

Members are admitted free to our properties during normal opening times and under normal opening arrangements, but in certain cases (eg when a special event is being held) may be charged for entry. If in doubt, please telephone the property to check. Members should always carry their valid membership cards, as free admission cannot be given without them.

Please also note that at some busy properties, entry for all visitors (including Trust members) is by timed ticket and you may have to wait before being admitted. Finally, we ask you to respect the following advice relating to historic houses in order to protect the fragile and beautiful places you have come to see: sharp heels and ridged soles can damage delicate floors and so are not permitted

photography of interiors is not allowed Trust houses, restaurants and shops are all non-smoking areas visitors with large bags may be asked to leave them at the entrance to a house as they can damage wall surfaces and obstruct access.

The true extent of the Emperor Augustus's power can be found in the exile of the great poet, Ovid in AD 8. Just why he was punished is not clear; however, having offended the emperor he was sent to an island in the middle of nowhere. So clear was Augustus's authority, Ovid was told to go and go he went.
