Thank you very much for that, Nick. Raglan castle, as you know, is one of my favourite castles. I think it's in a very striking location, and its architecture is very striking. I think what we need to do in all these cases, first of all, is improve the access to these locations, especially when, as that castle is, close to a very fast-moving highway, so that people driving past will be able to see the castle but have no idea, quite frankly—there is a Cadw sign, but they've no idea how to access the site. So, I think it's essential that we have a more integrated transport and access strategy to all our castles.
I certainly also agree that it is essential that it is the diversity of the country that attracts people, but then you have the privilege yourself of representing one of the most attractive rural constituencies in Wales. People forget that Monmouthshire is almost as rural as the kind of area that I represent.
