Should that not be enough to send your heart racing, if you are thinking of proposing and want to enhance your chances of a positive response, 15% of those surveyed by an independent research company, whilst being shown images of Langley Castle, said they would “definitely say ‘yes’” if their loved-one popped the question at the castle.
