It’s great that the National
Trust has opened the Rock Houses for everyone to explore. I suppose that the
land that it does occupy would otherwise be used by gypsies and left to ruin. There’d
be alterations galore in the clamour for more space which would eventually
undermine the structure of the whole rock. Kids would use it for dens and
hangouts and there’d be regular maintenance trips by the authorities to fill in
the holes or at least block them off from being misused. But there’s so much
natural beauty out there that it’d be a shame to let the land go to waste. Of
course, they could make a lot of money by making it private land and renting
out to people to stay in; but the natural beauty of the place would be wasted
as occupants would constantly be chasing away trespassers. But for now, it’s
open to everyone, at least during daylight hours.
