>so how would spending £50 million actually increase a visitors knowledge, beyond that?
Probably wouldn't.
The vision is to free up Stonehenge from its modern clutter; to set it free within its landscape. To reunite it with its Avenue and restore some sightlines with nearby barrows over the land seeded with plants growing in the Bronze Age.
The last figure I've seen, £67.5million, does seem a lot to do that. Of course, if the new centre's built, it'll be a Private Finance Initiative.
