National parks and the National Trust

Study note

Large areas of beautiful countryside in the UK are protected as national parks so that people can enjoy them and the natural environment is looked after. These parks are open to everyone and are popular places for walking and outdoor activities.

The National Trust is a charity that works to preserve important buildings, countryside and coastline so they can be enjoyed by everyone, now and in the future. It is not a bank, a tax collector or an organiser of elections, and it does not run the government. The key point to remember is that the National Trust is a charity that looks after important buildings, countryside and coast.

Memory tip: National parks protect countryside; the National Trust is a charity preserving places.
