What is the blue badge for National Trust?

If you have mobility issues and are a blue badge holder, you're able to park for free in our pay-and-display car parks as long as you display your badge. There is no need to scan your membership card. If you're with someone who can scan on your behalf, remember that the property will benefit from your visit.
