This is the reply I have just recieved from the CAA
Dear Mr Willmott
Thank you for your email.
The National Trust (NT) can legally prevent take‑off and landing (TOAL) from their land because property rights apply to the ground.
However, NT cannot legally control or restrict the airspace above their property, as airspace regulation belongs solely to the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA).
We hope this provides you with the clarity you’re after.
Kind regards

….. and as long as you fly by the CAA Code you will be fine.
Any chance we can have a pdf of the CAA email?

It is worth learning what is trespass. I thought we trespass by straying on private land but that is not technically true. If we stray onto private land and there was no signs then we have to be asked to leave and if we don’t then we are committing civil trespass. So don’t refuse to leave and we can’t get done for anything. So it’s more complicated than I thought and we have to be extra careful not to let it escalate to aggravate trespass. I’m definitely not say it’s good to go on private land but it the need is there then it best to have the full facts. I fly in these area a lot so I felt that it was my responsibility to learn all this. I eventually found this website and it is very good. So here it is. Hope it helps.

It would only be trespass if you actually enter their land which I wouldn’t,I can’t see how they can shout trespass on or in something they have no control over

Nope. This is what I mean. If it has public access. Then we can’t be done for trespass unless we refuse to leave. Refusing would be stupid. That is why I post the link. It explains all this.

Yes but they could have used any example. They are not likely to list all the different places especially if it comes under the same law. It’s aggravated trespass that we need to be especially careful of. I know the fine for trespass alone is peanuts compared to the solicitor fees. So most people can’t afford to take it to court. Still I don’t recommend just walking on to peoples land but it done make a difference if we know what trasspaass is fully. Sometimes saying sorry and leaving makes it so no civil or criminal offences happened. That information I found very interesting.

I’ve edited the title to include National Trust so this is easy to find in the future.
I think @SandDancer was asking for a screenshot of the actual email so that it looks official for showing to someone. If I understood him correctly.

Here’s a screen dump if that’s any good? You could save this and put it in your photo gallery on your phone if that helps?
