Our free autumn pass promotion has now come to an end. Thank you to everyone who has claimed a free visit.

This year, we gave away a select number of free pass for everyone to enjoy at the places in our care. We've now given these passes away – if you claimed one, you have until 18 October 2024 to use it.

There's still so much to explore this autumn, from woodland wanders to strolls in colourful autumn gardens. Spot birds, see what kings of fungi you can recognise and take photos surrounded by leaves.

With hundreds of places to visit, there's something for everyone.
