Conwy Suspension Bridge, North Wales , is the favourite National Trust view of former England rugby player Austin Healey. The Trust has asked various celebrities to name their best-loved views for its Special Places project: the actor Jude Law has chosen Cliveden House, Bond girl Naomie Harris likes Waddesdon Manor and Olympic pentathlon silver medallist Samantha Murray Lacock Abbey.
