"I'm from the era where the henge was still in comparative solitude and much as it was probably meant to be and I'm 100% positive we enjoyed the freedom of being able to walk amongst it all."

But that's what I was saying, that was then, this is now.


"It WILL be like Disneyland now, something you were very much against when the current Avebury thread was being heavily discussed."

It will be managed to accommodate a million visitors. I think some things (the Noddy train) are unfortunate and need thinking about but I don't think Disneyland applies - unless you are equating coping with large numbers of visitors with Disneyland, which is unfair.

The bottom line is: loads of people want to visit and have the right to. You aren't suggesting not letting them surely?

Exactly, they have the right to, as long as it is under EH terms of course! They want to visit, but I'm sure they would prefer to take their time and stroll around amongst the stones and not be herded around a rope or whatever they are now planning.

Thank God we have hundreds of other sites we can visit that are just as interesting, untouched and freely available to us to stroll around...and still have our picnics at.
