I represent my family home, Montgomery, in Parliament - one of Britain's most rural constituencies. Our economy is rooted in farming, and I am fiercely proud to stand up for such a strong, locally-oriented, hard-working set of communities. Powys, and indeed most of rural Wales, possesses some of the greatest natural beauty one can find in our fair isles, and - as I can vouch for, having travelled the world with the BBC - in the world.Â
As a proud rambler and walker, I think it is about time we make natural beauty accessible - that is why I am spearheading a new campaign for the right-to-roam, and the passing of a Countryside Rights of Way Act. The countryside in my constituency and beyond is stunning, and walking is a healthy, environmentally friendly, remarkably fulfilling exercise. I hope the Government takes note and promotes the rural economy and national well-being by backing the right-to-roam.
