I just saw this:

Anyone here got any more insight/info?

I seem to remember the NT tried the same trick a while back.

The law is very clear:

An image is owned by its maker (photographer, artist, etc). I don't think EH can say this.

must.. own.. intangible things.. and make.. money from them...

There's been some interesting posts about copyright on Dennis Price's Eternal Idol blog recently that might be relevant here.

Hi Hob,
EH are tossers of the highest order. Complete rip-off. I hereby recommend no-one pays at the turnstiles of Stonehenge. Instead, wander along the road, up the track, and simply climb over the hip-high fence for free. There's nothing to stop you doing it. Don't be ripped-off by the EH tourist hype.
What next? Will the National Trust charge people for taking photos in the Lake District if you put them in a book or magazine?
Fight the bastards.
Sadly yours,
TE.
