National Trails

Last updated

National Trails are long distance footpaths and bridleways in England and Wales. They are administered by Natural England, an agency of the UK government, and Natural Resources Wales, a Welsh government-sponsored body. National Trails are marked with an acorn symbol along the route and are marked on Ordnance Survey maps. In Scotland, the equivalent trails are called Scotland's Great Trails and are administered by NatureScot.

It should be noted that the majority of long-distance footpaths in the United Kingdom are not designated as National Trails, but are instead described and way-marked by other public bodies, by local authorities, or by private association or individuals. Some of these are also marked on Ordnance Survey maps.
