How's this for irony?
Question: What future do you see for public access to the 'sacred landscape' of Silbury and Stonehenge?
Terry Dobney: There is likley to be more legislation, when you realise Stonehenge is one of the biggest visitor attractions of this country, estimates of about three million a year, I've heard discussions of the logistics of getting the coaches in and out of the car park is similar to stacking jumbo-jets in and out of Heathrow! Which is one of the reasons why there was a walk-way put around the outside of Stonehenge - If everybody takes away a bit of chalk on their shoes, there will be nothing left! Silbury is extremely unstable, it is nice to look at but extremely unstable!
