As one of the country's largest landowners, the National Trust is responsible for almost half-a-million acres of countryside and parkland, and getting on for 500 miles of coastline. The way in which the Trust manages that land often means that it has to balance conflicting views when it comes to such issues as walking, hunting, and preserving wildlife and the landscape. Malcolm Billings reports from Trust properties in the Lake District, Devon, Cornwall and the Midlands, and from Brownsea Island, a nature reserve off the Dorset coast.
