Sanctuary wrote: What IS the actual legal side of climbing the hill? The notice boards only 'suggest' you don't climb it, they don't say it is illegal to climb it do they? As June intimated a law needs putting in place with a HUGE fine. Okay you'll always get a yob or two sticking two fingers up but I reckon the hill would survive them...as it has the sheep :-) As you well know: Silbury Hill is privately owned. Silbury Hill is protected by the Ancient Monuments Protection Act. Silbury Hill is also a SSSI. Then there’s damage to fences. Does there need to be more than a polite request from EH to keep climbers off the mound? I have suggested that a short explanation of the threat posed to irreplaceable archaeology and also the SSSI rather just ‘keep off’ would have a greater chance of persuading more not to climb than do now; but there again people don’t tend to read notices that don’t suit them…  This topic is locked |  1st September 2012ce 17:03 In reply to: Re: When she stands on Silbury Hill (Sanctuary) |
