Heritage House and Botanic Garden Membership Schemes (2014 prices)
- Historic Houses Association (Annual: £45 single /£72 double) : Membership scheme which gives free entrance to many houses passed by the walks.
- National Trust (First Year: £43.50/£71.62) : Covers several of the more well known attractions (e.g. Nymans Gardens, Wakehurst, Winkworth, Knole House), and free parking at NT car parks.
- English Heritage (£49/£86) : Has a similar scheme, but only a few of its properties are covered by these walks.
- The Art Fund (First Year: £42.75/£64.50) : Eclectic mixture of NT, English Heritage, and museums. Not many places on the walks, but maybe of interest as it covers most London museums. Recommended.
- The National Pinetum, Kew Gardens / Wakehurst, and Heligan have a reciprocal membership scheme.

I'm not going to attempt a link, so you'll need to copy and paste :-(
but should be a good evening
Slow Ways
Just to mention the Beeb did an article on "Slow Ways" see https://slowways.uk/frequently-asked-questions/
It appears their Web site is work in progress, but could be of interest when it's up and running
If anyone is interested - there is a London Open Gardens weekend scheduled for Saturday June 10th & Sunday June 11th 2023
https://londongardenstrust.org/
Tickets are not fee - but once that hurdle is overcome then there are several short self-guided walks that could be done in various London Boroughs.
Just a thought.
The Perseid meteor shower
Sky at Night fans (and other sky watchers) may wish to look out for these little rascals that have been discarded by the Swift-Tuttle comet. Apparently best nights to view are today and tomorrow 12/13 August
The Royal Museums Greenwich suggest that you find an open location with low light pollution and some clear skies after sunset to view.
They've put up details at https://www.rmg.co.uk/stories/topics/perseid-meteor-shower-guide-uk-when-where-to-see
