| Just found the BBC clip on the new centre, http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-25412430, which I think is the same link posted earlier. Whilst it looks great and is hopefully better than the overcrowded old facility, the bit that I had the hardest part to swallow was that ticket prices are almost doubling. I have visited Stonehenge a few times in the past few years, mostly to take visitors from overseas there who wanted to see it as part of a journey to these shores and always thought it was expensive to begin with. I hate sounding Grinchy, but sorry EH, £14.90 adult entry is a lot of money to me. Yes, I know the money helps fund this and other projects, but it now seems like a very expensive day out (not that you would get close to a full day there anyway). I also don't like the fact you now have to pre-book a time slot to be guaranteed entry. Takes away all spontaneity, plus don't they realise that life, and especially travel, doesn't work to a strict timetable? I can foresee a lot of disappointed people turning up in the height of the season without knowing this only to be told "sorry, there's no room at the stones today". Go and see Avebury. It's free (parking excluded). Reply | with quote | Posted by common era 18th December 2013ce 10:23 In reply to: Re: There is no place quite like it..
