This year we are celebrating Christmas at Mottisfont. Mottisfont is a National Trust Heritage site and as a family we have never been. We are National Trust Members so we will get in for free. Parking is also free, as we do not fancy a walk through fields with livestock in them. Mottisfont is Romsey way, you can get there by train but by far the best way to get there is by bike. There are cycle lanes that involve some serious scenery. This year Mottisfont are featuring the Nutcracker. They will be closed until the 23rd November where they will open the doors to the public, with a fully decorated lights extravaganza and decorations with the theme in mind. It is perfect for little ones. I have bought Paul some wellies as its Autumn and muddy, we are going to be walking along the gardens. There is also a café and gift shop available on site. Membership is around £13 a month for my family, and I get a gift card to spend at Mottisfont. Membership gets you into many National Trust sites...
