National Trust properties

For National Trust members, there is an abundance of properties to explore on our doorstep. From Wray with its impressive castle to Allan Bank, William Wordsworth’s Georgian villa, there’s plenty to pick from.

So it may come as no surprise that one of the Trust’s Founders was once vicar of the nearby Low Wray Church. Canon Hardwicke Rawnsley was introduced to the other Founders by John Ruskin and Brandelhow Wood near Derwentwater in the Lake District became one of its first acquisitions.

Various locations.
