I'm a cynic, like Rhiannon, and with good reason, given the money-obsessed organizations of EH and the NT. They don't just charge a fee, they charge an obscene fee. Nowt wrong with paying for entry, but make it affordable to all.

So, the "new" Stonehenge will be open, will it? That means most people will be able to get in somewhere for free. Can't see either of the aforementioned money-grabbers being happy with that little scenario, can you?

As for nigelswift's view, I agree that we certainly do not want Blackpool-type visitor provisions. I understand that by removing the road it will make it very difficult for disabled people to see the stones, so, obviously, they have to have some form of transport to enable them to get there. However, keep the transport for the disabled: let's not let lazy people use that transport, in order to minimise the intrusion of any vehicular access.

I, for one, will always find a way into Stonehenge without paying, like I always have done. If the fee was reasonable, then I'd willingly pay, but they're even charging for parking at the moment.

I hope ther is a solution to suit all, but I can't see the leopards changing their spots.

Cheers,
TE.
