The National Trust has a strong and on-going commitment to accessibility in all areas of its work.
We strive to achieve this in many ways:
- improving access to and around our properties
- making it easy for people of all abilities to join our staff or volunteer teams
- allowing everyone access to our information and interpretation
Our website gives people another way of accessing the National Trust, and its wealth of properties and information, but its usefulness depends upon its accessibility.
Improving your experience of our website
You can change the text size on our website if you’re having trouble reading it. This is how to change the text size in recent versions of the three major browsers:
- Microsoft Internet Explorer users: select 'View', then 'Text size', then select desired size.
- Netscape and Firefox users: select 'View', then 'Text zoom’ then select desired size. Text size (100%) is the default original text size.
If you’re a Windows user with a scroll-wheel mouse, you can use ‘Ctrl’ and the scroll-wheel to increase text size. If you use another browser, look at its help section for tips on increasing text size.
If you do not use a mouse, you can use this website with your keyboard instead. If you use Windows, press Ctrl + tab key, then use the tab key to move to the link you want. For other operating systems, check the BBC’s My Web My Way pages pages for tips on using your keyboard to navigate websites.
