10 THINGS TO DO IN 2026

THE new year gives us a fresh start and it’s the perfect time to explore a new place, try a new hobby or kickstart a wellbeing resolution.

1. Take a walk in nature

Frosty gilded trees, far-reaching views and dramatic winter sunsets - head outdoors for an invigorating winter walk to experience the best of the season. The National Trust offer guided walks at many places in their care, and they're a great way to try a new route, meet other walkers and learn a little more about history and nature.

2. Discover somewhere new on your doorstep

Take the time to explore somewhere new in your local area. The National Trust cares for more than 500 special places, so why not discover one this January or add a few to your 2026 bucket list?

3. Uncover fascinating stories

If you're on the hunt for your next podcast listen, look no further than the National Trust's award-winning series. "Wild Tales" is the perfect listen for nature lovers, "Back When" transports you through time to uncover historical tales, and "Ranger Rae and the Wildlifers" engages kids with the natural world.

4. Support a new cause
