The steep, slippery and irregular surfaces make it unsafe to allow public access and such access would damage the protected grassland and archaeology of the monument.

Please do not climb the monument


...why would anyone think they have the right to climb it for 'research' or, " ...for a view around the country side." No it isn't alright, and it isn't alright to prance around on the Stonehenge lintels at any time, or to pretend to be king of the castle here.

It isn't alright ever - that's my view as a conservator. Period.


I take it you include archo's in your list of people 'not having the right to climb it for research purposes' then? I think you've gone OTT on this matter Littlestone so am out of it period as well.
