Hi there,
Apart from some bluster about free access in the 1997 'Millennium Park' proposal, conceived by English Heritage and the Tussauds Group (which was dropped soon after), no other proposal has considered that all the fences will come down and everyone will be free to wander at will without paying. In fact, the visitor cost as a result of the various proposals hasn't really been discussed in any depth as far as I know. I remember that Chris Chippindale and a colleague did some research a few years back, which ended up concluding that we'd be looking at a cost of at least £10 a head!
All the best,
Andy

Andy is the author of 'Stonehenge: Celebration and Subversion', described by SchNEWS as 'by far the best bit of modern British social history I've seen', and the editor of 'The Battle of the Beanfield', described by Ronald Hutton as 'probably the definitive work on its subject, something very rarely achieved in practice'.
