The National Trust outlines its concerns about High Speed 2
Concerns over the high speed rail link - HS2 - took a new twist today - with The National Trust saying it feared the route would badly affect historic land and property.
The Government wants to build the £32 billion pound scheme from London to Birmingham - but there are many opponents.
The Trust says four key historic sites will be seriously affected by the route through Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire - tourist attractions like Claydon House, Waddesdon Manor, Hartwell House and Coombe Hill.
