Looks like National Trust are on it now. Been ‘told off’ today at Clumber Park. Even though i was flying in line of sight over a forest with no one else around. Sad as the tree colours are stunning from above this time of year.

They can stop and challenge you, IF, you are flying FROM off their property, but, if you take off from Public Land and fly over their property they have no right to stop you.
They may own the land, but, not the airspace above if, that’s official !

I would certainly contest any advance by any NT Employee on the above.

Many thanks @chrisjohnbaker. I was about to get a little testy - but thought i’d Back off until i knew the facts - so that’s excellent. Being a member of this forum is helping me already after only a few hours. Much appreciated!

Having several of the Documents in your Drone bag, can save a lot of potential problems that people have against us drone flyers.
I always keep a barrage of them in my bag.

Cool. I’ve have my indemnity/insurance in my bag - but will be arming myself further 
I have been confronted on many occasions, as many members on here will testify!.
I take them all in good spirit, if i am right, i will argue it, if i am wrong, bollocks to them, i’ll still fly !
How rude of me!, a big welcome as a new member, we may all seem mad, but, we love a bit of banter, and can answer most questions that you may have on droning, so don’t be afraid to ask !.

Appears fair to me!!!
You can expect the same at English Heritage sites too. I had a tap on my shoulder whilst in the Lake District at an EH site.
very much as @chrisjohnbaker says tho :

I would contact either @PingSpike @OzoneVibe or @callum to find out why you cannot access the “ Members Only” Area.

Can they actually stop you flying over their land. They do not control airspace
