You can climb it [Silbury] for a view around the country side. No one really has an explanation for it’s original purpose. Though scientists have dug here, nothing significant has ever been found. Is it a sundial? A rich burial site? Your theory is as good as anyone’s so far.
Well, at least they had the sense and decency to publish Nigel and AlanS' comments - well done fellas! Next, people who think it's OK to climb on Stonehenge - be good to hear (from a conservation point of view) why those people think that's acceptable.
Plenty of these around silbury's base. ; )

Think you should post a link to that notice on their website Mr m. They still haven't withdrawn their comment that, "You can climb it for a view around the country side."

The signs don't actually say it's illegal to climb it do they and they don't go out of their way to protect it too well either!
