Let's not forget that Lord Bath banned cyclists from using estate roads that they'd enjoyed using for years.
It wasn't Lord Bath who banned the cyclists - it was his son who now runs the commercial enterprise that is Longleat. Iirc the gripe he (the son) had was that he wanted anyone who got onto the estate to pay an entry fee and the cyclists weren't. Unfortunately it was only ever a permissive right of way so there was little Sustrans or the local authority could do legally, but I understand the route has been reinstated after he (the son) realised (after it was pointed out) that the majority of these cyclists ate in the cafe etc.

Ah - the chorus of disapproval...
The Baths want to ruin Cheddar Gorge with a cable car so that fat chavs can get to the top and look at the view from a "viewing platform" FFS
This particular local cyclist promptly stopped buying his firewood from the estate. That's about £500-worth (at a guess) so far. Though I never spent anything in the cafe.
