You can climb it [Silbury] for a view around the country side. No one really has an explanation for it’s original purpose. Though scientists have dug here, nothing significant has ever been found. Is it a sundial? A rich burial site? Your theory is as good as anyone’s so far.


Well, at least they had the sense and decency to publish Nigel and AlanS' comments - well done fellas! Next, people who think it's OK to climb on Stonehenge - be good to hear (from a conservation point of view) why those people think that's acceptable.


Plenty of these around silbury's base. ; )

The signs don't actually say it's illegal to climb it do they and they don't go out of their way to protect it too well either!
