National Trust has confirmed it will be reopening its larger car parks so the public can access more open green spaces.

The larger car parks will reopen from Thursday, May 21 to visitors who pre-book their space.

A booking system will be live on the National Trust website from today (May 18) with individual property pages containing the details about which car parks are bookable.

So you can find your local National Trust green space on the website here to check if its car park is reopening this week.

Members will be able to book a space for free, while non-members will need to pay in advance for their space.

Recently a number of its smaller car parks reopened in line with government advice, and following its success the larger ones will now open just days later.

The reopening of some larger car parks will only take place in England while the First Minister in Wales and the Northern Ireland Executive reiterate the 'stay at home' message, so all car parks in Wales and Northern Ireland will remain closed.

National Trust have also added: "Sadly, for the time being our pay-for-entry places, including houses and gardens, will need to remain closed, due to the latest government guidance restricting the public’s use of outdoor ticketed venues.

"When we get the chance to reopen any pay-for entry places it will be phased and gradual to ensure that we protect any local communities from being overwhelmed. In order to maintain social distancing when they reopen, we plan to introduce a pre-booking system."
