Published yesterday on the Travel Daily News website was something rather curious. In reporting that the UK's cultural heritage generates £4.6bil from overseas visitors, the site went on to read, "within that total one-in-eight of those sites—ranging from the Tower of London to The Palace of Holyrood House in Edinburgh and Ruthin Castle in Wales—are associated with [the] monarchy."
No mention of Caernarfon Castle. Is Castell Rhuthun Castle really up there with Sandringham, Windsor, Buckingham Palace, Kensington Palace and Highgrove? I know that Prince Charles may have visited the Castle on a couple of occasions and that the Castle owes its existence to Edward I but honestly.
Is the scuttlebutt associated with the Cornwallis-Wests's reputed liaisons with Prince Albert & Edward, Prince of Wales, enough to cement Rhuthun on the royal trail? I can't say that I've noticed hoards of foreign visitors in Rhuthun, as a result of the Castle or otherwise. Or may be this is some sort of unique selling point that we need to exploit.
