If they don’t define their boundaries clearly for all to see, how can they say you’re on their land?

I have searched high and low for a map, diagram or otherwise that gives any detail of where National Trust property or land boundaries start and finish. I have also written to them twice asking the same question but have had no reply. I think they make it difficult on purpose to prevent people asking awkward questions about rights of way, trespass and now drone use. The next step is a FOI request.
I think to certain extent there has to be some physical boundary such as a wall, gate, fence, ditch, hedge or such like but you still need to know where they are. Private land owners such as you or I must have them so I see no reason why they should be any different. I’ll keep digging.
Where did I read that a guy had sent FOI to over 700 local authorities?
I can’t find it.

They should respond quickly in what they fucking charge in council tax
Thanks for this. It’s an excellent place to get lots of info. including Crown foreshore details. Problem is, it’s difficult to use onsite because it’s Windows, rather than app based.
I see in the accompanying notes on the Drone Scene website that the NT property map overlays seem to be based on details provided by the NT itself. Does anyone know what the underlying data source is, please?
All “local authority” land is a no fly zone according to Selby Council

In an app like Altitude Angel it’s possible to view your GPS location in the app in real time and see directly whether you are inside or outside any applicable restriction or caution zones. Drone Scene is browser based so is not so user friendly in the field (and that shouldn’t be read as criticism, because it’s an excellent data source). The underlying data for the map overlays must have been sourced from somewhere and I would really like to see that.
