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.

Country Life

Country Life is unlike any other magazine: the only glossy weekly on the newsstand and the only magazine that has been guest-edited by HRH The King not once, but twice. It is a celebration of modern rural life and all its diverse joys and pleasures — that was first published in Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee year. Our eclectic mixture of witty and informative content — from the most up-to-date property news and commentary and a coveted glimpse inside some of the UK's best houses and gardens, to gardening, the arts and interior design, written by experts in their field — still cannot be found in print or online, anywhere else.
