Professor Sir Barry Cunliffe, Chairman, English Heritage, said: "Our vision has always been to restore a sense of dignity to the setting of Stonehenge and to improve its visitor facilities. English Heritage has now secured, through working with the Department of Culture Media and Sport and a group of stakeholders, an agreed location for new visitor facilities in accordance with the World Heritage Site Management Plan. This will lead to a pragmatic and affordable scheme which will make significant and vitally-needed improvements to what we have now."

"A planning application will be submitted in the late summer, when there will be further public consultation on the scheme. Construction work is expected to take place in 2011, with the new visitor facilities scheduled to open in 2012, in time for the London Olympics." - glad to see a nice and achievable timescale to it all, then....

I suspect we are about to witness the biggest archaeological bun fight in history for who will be doing the fieldwork, hope its a French or Turkish outfit that would be just desserts :face-stir:

What do you mean lost on price again!

I hear the Pendragon Yurt BnB is quite comfy accomodation. Or would more than one occupant be deemed as a procession...?
