I’d been meaning to return to Upton House (National Trust) for a while now, and had been hoping to see the new 1920s displays and the refilled mirror lake. Â But we went today for the Easter Egg hunt and the mirror lake was still empty and complete with JCB digger in it
N had a great time with his cousin, they spent a lot of time rolling down slopes, running around and just generally having a bit of rough and tumble outdoor fun. Â We were only there for about an hour – perfect when you’ve got membership and live 5 minutes round the corner!

Monkey loves to roll down slopes as well. Least they can tick it off the 50 things to do list! #livingarrows
He looks like he’s having a great time just running around. We keep meaning to get NT membership but then think we’ll leave it until we actually have a plan to go somewhere and that hasn’t happened yet! #LivingArrows
I loved all the photos of them both rolling down the hill – looked great fun! I do love our NT membership, we’ve definitely got our money’s worth out of it! #livingarrows
I go through phases with ours. Probably used ours less this year, but then we have been away in the UK a few times and used it. Doesn’t take long to break even.
I really want to go to Upton House – there are so many lovely NT properties and I doubt we’ll ever see them all! x
It’s not the best for children – just a walk, the woodland trail which is good, and there’s usually something interactive in the house, but mostly it’s a lot of art. I only take N there when we’re with friends and want a quick nip out or if there’s a specific activity on like Easter
What a wonderful place to have membership to, love this picture!
Sounds perfect. We have membership to a place for this reason, makes life a bit easier!
This is why we would get membership – these places are wonderful but sometimes you just need to pop in for an hour. Now the mirror lake sounds very interesting – I assume its the water rather than mirrors? #LivingArrows
Lovely to have somewhere that is just five minutes down the road! #LivingArrows
Sounds like a perfect place to go x #livingArrows
I love how having an annual membership makes you visit more often, we’re the same with our NT and Trentham passes. Rolling down hills always makes G laugh #livingarrows
