SIR — I am appalled that the National Trust is intending to open a catering facility at Dunster Castle.

I was born and grew up in Dunster and often return to visit.

Dunster is a vibrant little village with lots of different shops, tearooms and excellent restaurants which all cater for a visitor's needs.

It seems that the National Trust can see a honeypot and wants some of it. If the trust wants more revenue why can't it look at other ways of making money without jeopardising the livelihood of its neighbours?

I though the priority of the trust was to support the local economy and work with the local community.

Come on National Trust - play fair!
