I must disagree eeyore.

As far as I'm concerned, they have put the statement in black and white, there is no ambiguity at this present time. The clause says "The National Trust does not permit photography or filming at its properties for commercial use or for reproduction in any form...."

They have thus far declined to confirm anything to the contrary.

Yes, for professionals, and for those amateurs intending to sell or profit from their images there is reason for agreement, but for amateurs only intending to display their images for pleasure/comment - no way.

It is yet one more example of the incidious grinding away of the rights and freedoms of the people of this country to go about their business without hindrance.

Regards
Mike.
