Whenever I'm there the place is filled with educational school visitors or Americans doing the London-Salisbury-Stonehenge-Bath coach trip (with accompanying tour guide claiming that no-one knows for sure who built it, maybe aliens).

I'm sure they would much rather visit a "Stonehenge Complete" replica closer to Amesbury, where they could actually go in and around the stones.

Most are unaware of the avenue, cursus, the monument within the surrounding landscape concept.

If you were on a 20 minute stop over, wouldn't you rather have you holiday snaps infront of something that wasn't broken?

When visitors travel to Stonehenge on the 'land-train', they'll pass (and disembark at if they wish) Woodhenge (for Durrington Walls and the Cuckoo Stone, too), King Barrow Ridge and the eastern end of the Cursus (handy for the Avenue).

Seems good to me.
