*Our Facebook ‘House Rules’*
We want our page to be a place where people can share how they feel about the National Trust and talk about their experiences in a fun environment. We welcome feedback – both positive and negative. It helps us to learn and grow. These house rules aim to ensure everyone can enjoy themselves while they’re here:

We ask you to be nice and polite to one another – you almost always are! - and respect each other’s views and comments. We ask all users to ensure your contributions are civil, polite, tasteful and suitable for all ages. We won't tolerate disruptive, offensive or abusive behaviour, unlawful or objectionable content. This includes any material which might be defamatory, offensive, infringing, obscene, lewd, pornographic, violent, abusive, insulting, threatening, harassing, discriminatory, blasphemous, indecent or otherwise unlawful or objectionable. It also includes any material which is aggressive, argumentative or likely to be construed as bullying. No spamming or repetition, please, nor off-topic material in subject-specific threads or areas.

*Moderation policy*
In general, we don’t moderate posts – except on the rare occasion that someone has used offensive language or made libellous allegations about named or identifiable individuals on our page. We have a duty to protect our staff and volunteers, so while deleting comments is totally out of character for us, our legal position is that any post containing a libellous accusations, should be removed. We’ll also remove any posts that in any way target individual teams or members of staff.

We won’t tolerate postings, content, or links that are racist, sexist or homophobic. We also don’t permit linking to or posting any content which endorses illegal activity, or any activities against the values of the National Trust.

It's the National Year of Reading and we're travelling to Agatha Christie's holiday home, Greenway in Devon.

Which writers inspired Agatha Christie? Barbara is the Curator for Greenway and she's taking us into Agatha's library, and pulling a very special book from the shelves...

A good book, a cosy corner and the colours of autumn outside. What could be better? 🍂📖

To celebrate the National Year of Reading, Book Nooks have opened at eight National Trust places across the South West, offering peaceful spots to pause, browse and enjoy a story.

Which would you choose: a secluded stone alcove, a window seat with a view, or a historic library?

Our teams have many talents- and pumpkin carving is no exception. But can you tell which National Trust house has been carved into this pumpkin?

Have you played Stranger Folk yet?

If you haven't heard of it, Stranger Folk is a real-world adventure game where you can step into a world of mischief, magic and ancient folklore during your visit to a National Trust place.

It's a Halloween adventure which crackles with old magic- rooted in the myths, legends and strange tales woven through Britain's landscapes.

Play your way with fast-paced games as short as 20 minutes, or full-day adventures alongside autumn walks, picnics and scones. Perfect for silly grown-ups and spirited kids to play together (recommended from age 7).

Download the free app and play now at Lanhydrock (Cornwall), Pentire (Cornwall), Lydford Gorge (Devon), Snowshill (Gloucestershire), Mompesson (Wiltshire) and Woodchester Park (Gloucestershire).

It's the National Year of Reading, so join us over the next few weeks as our curators take you beyond just the covers of the books we care for.

Next week we'll be starting with something of a mystery...
