I wonder what effect this will have regarding access to the caves (& climbing) on Longleat land?

Does anyone know how the 8th Marquess views cavers?

I did meet him when the Duke of Wessex was touring his 'domain' a few years back.  Some of the discoverers of the Frozen Deep were invited to make a short presentation on the find, in Gough's Cave during his tour.  He was with the Duke. he had a charming wife who was dishing out strawberries after the event!  He has been closely involved with running the family enterprise for some time so I don't imagine there will be many changes, if any (apart from the perennial attempt to boost revenue).
