For most of us, the National Trust<\/a> and National Trust for Scotland<\/a> are synonymous with beautiful buildings, manicured gardens and delicious cream teas, but it\u2019s sometimes easy to forget both charities are also the custodians of many of our most treasured outdoor spaces.<\/p>\n

From precious upland landscapes and ancient woodlands, to exceptional coastlines, the National Trust and National Trust for Scotland care for, and make accessible, over 3,000 hectares of countryside and hundreds of miles of coastline.<\/p>\n

National Trust-managed landscapes enable us to walk mountain ridges, follow meandering rivers and wander along lonely beaches, unlocking the history of our landscapes, and understanding their conservation as we go.<\/p>\n

Both the National Trust and the National Trust for Scotland have put a lot of thought and experience into making landscapes accessible to everyone, even in inclement weather, and their well-maintained, waymarked paths, accessible trails and information boards can make the difference between a plodding ramble and an exciting exploration.<\/p>\n

And as for their cafes? Well, there\u2019s nothing like a bowl of soup, or hot chocolate and cake, to put a smile back on the face of even the most tired of walkers.<\/p>\n

Whether you love striding out on long-distance walks, ambling around landscaped gardens, or enjoying something in-between, our National Trusts sites have a walk to suit you.<\/p>\n

With so many wonderful walks to choose from, picking one can prove a difficult task. Never fear, BBC Countryfile Magazine<\/em> are here to help with our round-up favourite National Trust walks.<\/p>\n
