Prince of Wales urges ‘cultural continuity’ in countryside

“The delicately woven tapestry of our countryside is facing unprecedented pressures,” according to Prince Charles in this speech reported in the Daily Telegraph.

“Start pulling at the threads and the whole thing could fall apart.”

Prince Charles highlighted the importance of village pubs, traditional crafts and maintaining “cultural continuity” in an age of “stultifying mono-culturalism”.

This report from the Daily Telegraph demonstrates Prince Charles’ positive and ongoing deep support for rural Britain.

He also very powerfully identifies the opportunities to link tourism and the landscape – opportunities we are currently exploring in: Upper Teesdale, the Yorkshire Dales, Pembrokeshire and Cornwall.
