a lot of the landscape is at the moment access land. And there's a thumping great byway too. Will they change that? (in fear of repeating myself) but when I walked around and about there years back I was virtually alone. Despite the full carpark. So I don't think they're going to have huge problems with hundreds of renegades walking in from miles out, people are just too lazy. Do you not think? They'll probably check tickets when people get on the bus, but otherwise..

am I just being an optimist for a change.

Not that I'm trying to dodge paying particularly. But it'd be nice to have an option of avoiding some of the tourist circus. You know how crazy it gets there on a nice day.


It should be possible to walk from Durrington Walls or Amesbury and I'm guessing if approached from a different direction the hefty entrance fees might be avoided. They no doubt include entry to the display rooms which do look worth paying for. I'm not a NT member but in the old order members could go up to the stones for free. Is this still the case I wonder?
