Yes they have a total ban on drones but they should not be allowed:
Flying drones at our places
The National Trust policy on this is criminalising, old fashioned and plain inaccurate, I am happy to join a group of pilots to take on this.
This actually contravenes the UK Civil Aviation Authority own rules. I could do a deconstruction of their ludicrous list point by point. The irony is that people interested in the environment like myself find it nearly impossible to fly over spaces that should be commons in Norfolk as it's mostly controlled by the Trust, Holkham State etc.
There are multiple threads about this on other forums, for example:
Flying over National Trust sites
Good evening. Thanks for the link. Beginning to become a bit of a renegade come recluse. I wouldn't go filming around Buildings where visitors congregate or over walkers. However, if I keep to the CAA Rules then I feel I can sleep at night.
I think most of Lulworth is NT land, as is Durdle and I think Chesil. Pity because there is so much beautiful coastline
You are right about the High and low water mark, but someone else can test it.
NT do not own the airspace, so in theory you can fly from private land over NT land, again someone else can test it.
I am not a lawyer or have any specialist knowledge, but I understand we have no rights to take off from a public footpath. A public footpath only grants you rights to pass and repass and no other activities.
Greetings from up North,very few restrictions here, yet.....
Chesil beach has three owners: From Portland to the boundary stone at Littlesea it is owned by the Crown Estates, From theboundary stone to West Bexington it is owned by Ilchester Estates, and from West Bexington to West Bay it is owned by the National TrustI think most of Lulworth is NT land, as is Durdle and I think Chesil.
