The National Trust Book of Scones by Sarah Merker brings you 50 scone recipes from the National Trust.

History is best enjoyed with a scone, as everyone who’s visited a National Trust house knows. This book brings you the best of both.

She has also written a quirky guide to 50 National Trust places to delight and entertain you while you bake or eat those blissful treats. Eccentric owners, strange treasures, obscure facts – it's all here.

Whip up a Triple Chocolate scone while you read about the mechanical elephants at Waddesdon Manor.

Marvel at Ightham Mote's Grade 1 listed dog kennel while you savour a Cheese, Spring Onion and Bacon scone.
