So you don't think the pressure of 1,000,000 visitors a year represents any risk to the monument?


As I said, they're kept behind a cordon, so do not come into direct contact with the monument. You might argue that there's a risk from traffic pollution around the monument (some generated by tourism) but I can't say. Certainly the closure of roads around Stonehenge is something many here have been campaigning for for years. If you can see another risk from one million tourists per year kept well away from the stones themselves please enlighten the board as to what that might be.

But one person a year climbing on a lintel is an imminent threat? Some proportionality really is in order here.


Yes, and it has nothing to do with proportionality and everything to do with risk.
