A number of National Trust properties will feature exclusive Pokémon Go activities this summer.
Running between 18th July and 6th September, the 27 properties across England and Wales will feature dedicated raids, Timed Research and Location Backgrounds. Further sites - 140 in total - will also feature additional PokéStops and Gyms.
The dedicated raids see the 27 properties split into four regions, each with their own Pokémon - Hoppip (Southern England Coast), Sewaddle (Midlands and London), Pineco (North), and Seedot (South West and Wales). The first encounter will feature a Location Background, with subsequent encounters having a chance of them appearing.
You can see the full list of Pokémon Go National Trust properties at the end of this article.
This is the second Pokémon collaboration with the National Trust this year, with a series of walking trails taking place at a dozen venues - some of which also featuring these new Pokémon Go activities, allowing you to do both - until 6th September. You can read impressions in my National Trust Pokémon trail review.

It's not known whether Location Backgrounds will apply to Remote Raids, or just local ones; I will update this article when I know more.
