Can I fly a drone in National Trust properties?

In most cases, no.

The National Trust generally prohibits recreational drone flights from land under its ownership or management unless prior permission has been obtained. This policy is designed to protect wildlife, visitors and sensitive heritage sites.

Even if the airspace itself is not restricted, taking off or landing from National Trust land without permission may breach the organisation's rules.

Commercial operators may sometimes receive approval for specific projects, but this is assessed on a case-by-case basis.
