Autumn is one of the best times of year to get outside and explore what nature has to offer as the seasons change across North Yorkshire.

From discovering the different animals that emerge during the colder months to watching the leaves change colour, the is a lot to admire.

But this year, the National Trust is offering a free single-use ticket to use at some of their 500 sites across the UK.

It can be used for two adults and up to three children, one adult and up to four children, or two adults on their own.
