That is all very well but the roads will still be there with many cars going by every hour. What if you do not want to go into the stones but just walk the cursus, or visit the surrounding barrows. This is what I prefer to do as I don't see why I should pay EH to walk inside a fenced are with hundreds of others when they can be viewed peacefully from Normanton Down.

Along the one main road yes, but this is a short term proposal based on the assumption that that isn't going to change for many a year.

I don't know the figures but would guess that the great majority of visitors arrive by car or coach. I would have thought that they'd think £10 to cover free parking, an exhibition, an hour long tour of the landscape and access to the much enhanced site would be a pretty good deal.

Whether it would be worth accommodating those who arrive purely as pedestrians by erecting a perimeter fence round parts of the outside and charging them a couple of quid... or simply having honesty boxes or just letting them walk in free I don't know... but I'm sure it wouldn't be a major problem and wouldn't prejudice the main exercise.
