Stonehenge 181
Image by Chance

It's strange but we have a kind of "blind spot" for Stonehenge too.

We guess that for us, it's the whole Look But Do Not Touch bit, we did enquire about the out of hours visits, but the restrictions effectively prevent any serious photography ( a big interest of ours). A normal "tourist time" visit left us feeling really depressed.

There's the bit when folk find out you have an interest in prehistoric monuments, you're just waiting to see how early SH is mentioned, and if you can surpress the wince reflex.

Then there's the whole hype and insanity package attached to it, such as the madcap time when EH tried to claim copyright of any and all images of SH however produced.

It's odd though, if SH was in some remote location, such as one of the Orkney islands only reachable by coracle, you'd probably have to beat us off with sticks......

Yes. It's the baggage that comes with it. Stonehenge is awesome.

What restrictions would those be then?
