About The National Trust Paving Collection
We are extremely proud that our high-quality paving and flagstones were endorsed by the National Trust to form this stunning collection.
Respecting our British history is something that we at Westminster Stone strongly value. The houses and gardens within the National Trust’s care date back hundreds of years, and their heritage should be embraced. The gardens and landscapes are part of the UK’s rich history, and many of the gardens continue to inspire landscape designers to this day.
Our National Trust Paving Collection takes inspiration from these beautiful places including Hidcote Manor in the Cotswolds, Tatton Park in Cheshire and Barrington Court in Somerset. Our premium quality products have been chosen by the National Trust for their authenticity, and beautiful characteristics.
Every time something is purchased from this collection, income is generated for the National Trust, so they can continue their incredible work to preserve and restore important buildings, landscapes and artefacts from British history. Read more about how we work with the National Trust.
