National Trails are long distance footpaths and bridleways in England and Wales. They are administered by Natural England and the Countryside Council for Wales, statutory agencies of the UK government.
National Trails are marked with an acorn symbol along the route.
In Scotland, the equivalent trails are called Long Distance Routes and are administered by Scottish Natural Heritage.

Famous quotes containing the words national and/or trails:
“While I do not think it was so intended I have always been of the opinion that this turned out to be much the best for me. I had no national experience. What I have ever been able to do has been the result of first learning how to do it. I am not gifted with intuition. I need not only hard work but experience to be ready to solve problems. The Presidents who have gone to Washington without first having held some national office have been at great disadvantage.”
—Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
“My noisy denunciation trails off in doubt.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
