I stopped by stone henge a few weeks back.[ATTACH=CONFIG]618[/ATTACH]
What I noticed was that there was a lot of people did not want to pay to stare at stone henge and have worn a track along the road side fence on the A344. I saw a few coach loads of foreign students do this and family groups. On the day it was almost as many who paid to go in and be patronised by some moronic eh Dictaphone dribble. [ATTACH=CONFIG]619[/ATTACH]Whether these people had seen the stones from the A303 and decided to stop I don’t know but I cant help but feel that the A303 is an asset to the site. Apart from my total hatred of English heritage and all who sail in it I have always wondered why there was ever an issue about moving the A303. I think a bigger issue would be to take that horrible fence down that protects eh’s authority as a keeper of a so called world heritage monument or dont take the fence down but make it free to entre.
