Issue 159 - Summer 2023

Summer 2023 audio edition highlights 
We hope the summer issue of National Trust Magazine will inspire you to get out and about to experience all the season has to offer.  

Hear about the Trust rangers working to restore and protect some of the UK’s wildest landscapes, and take a behind-the-scenes tour of the Trust’s two conservation studios where skilled experts look after some of history’s most remarkable objects. 

We’re also celebrating 75 years since the garden at Hidcote in Gloucestershire came into Trust care. Garden designer and broadcaster Chris Beardshaw delves in to the history of the Arts and Crafts garden and reveals how it has inspired his career.
