Find National Trust attractions with new iPhone app
The National Trust's new iPhone and iPod Touch app lets users search for the nearest Trust places to visit from historic properties to beautiful walks.


The National Trust has launched an iPhone app that helps people find the nearest Trust place to visit. It's downloadable for free at
http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/national-trust/id360792792?mt=8
The app will give information about the Trust's hundreds of properties and coast and countryside locations, such as opening times, car parking and directions.
It will suggest the nearest Trust location, using the smart technology in the iPhone and the iPod touch, and will also suggest other destinations for picnic spots, en-route stop-offs and further trips.
Philip Ludgate, head of digital media at the National Trust, said: ‘I've always been amazed by the fact that, wherever you are in the country, you're never more than 40 minutes away from a place looked after by the Trust.
‘The app is the perfect way to reach people who might never have come to the Trust before, or who might not realise the breadth of places in our care.
‘Over the next weekend, we're opening the doors of hundreds of our places for free through our Bonus Time weekend, and there's no better way to find places near you than by using the new app.'

Country Life is unlike any other magazine: the only glossy weekly on the newsstand and the only magazine that has been guest-edited by HRH The King not once, but twice. It is a celebration of modern rural life and all its diverse joys and pleasures — that was first published in Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee year. Our eclectic mixture of witty and informative content — from the most up-to-date property news and commentary and a coveted glimpse inside some of the UK's best houses and gardens, to gardening, the arts and interior design, written by experts in their field — still cannot be found in print or online, anywhere else.
