Woman completes 10-year National Trust scone-tasting mission

Sarah Merker's goal to eat a scone at all 244 sites with a tearoom or restaurant was spurred by death of her husband in 2018

A woman from London has completed a decade-long mission to sample a scone at every National Trust location with a tearoom or restaurant.

Sarah Merker, 49, from Isleworth, west London, tasted scones at 244 National Trust sites across England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Merker ranked and reviewed each scone on her blog, nationaltrustscones.com.
