Outdoor activities
Take your pick from a range of activities in the landscapes we care for. It's easy to make the most of being outdoors with us.
These trail runs will show you some of the best sights at the places we care for. They've been hand-picked by the rangers who care for them, so you're bound to encounter some of the best sights nature has to offer.
We know that when people love spending time in a place surrounded by natural beauty, they’re more motivated to look after it. Trail runners support our work by spending money in our car parks, cafés and shops, as well as with National Trust membership or generous donations.
Funds go towards local projects, such as the tree-planting and controlled grazing that have helped Malham Tarn and Fountains Fell in Yorkshire become full of life.
The support we get from runners goes beyond the money they spend at our places:
Many runners pick up rubbish as they go, which is a very simple way to help with conservation. Some runners also volunteer with us, to learn more about the landscape they run in and help to protect it for future generations.
