Two popular National Trust properties offer a free hot drink for rail passengers
Visitors arriving to Packwood House or Baddesley Clinton by train from Birmingham Moor Street can receive a free tea or coffee drink in a bid to encourage greener travel.
The National Trust locations are both within a two-mile radius of Lapworth station, on the Chiltern main line, which can be easily reached directly from Birmingham Moor Street station. Visitors can then get their steps in whilst reducing their carbon footprint further, by taking a leisurely stroll to either destination with walking routes provided to and from Lapworth station.
Visitors can also easily access two of England's outstanding canals from Lapworth station and see for themselves the interesting sights of the Lapworth Flight of locks on the Stratford-upon-Avon Canal and Kingswood Junction where this waterway joins together with the Grand Union Canal.
Gurminder Kenth, General Manager, National Trust, said: “We’re delighted to be working together with Network Rail to offer a free regular hot drink to rail passengers at Packwood House and Baddesley Clinton.
"Lapworth station is less than two miles from both Packwood and Baddesley and the perfect way to fit in a country walk when visiting some of the special places we help to care for in Warwickshire.
“We’re always on the look-out for meaningful ways to address the impacts of climate change and even the smallest changes can make the biggest of differences for nature and the climate. Finding greener, car-free travel on foot or rail can be a great way of getting active and doing your bit for the environment.”
