I get a bit tired of reading people doing a Monty Python about Stonehenge. "I remember when you could go there any time and have a ten course picnic and there'd be no-one within a hundred miles" etc etc. That was then, this is now, millions of people want to see it and that situation needs to be coped with.

Places like Devil's Den will always be available for those who want somewhere quieter. And even Avebury, early morning - and I've been there on Xmas day (quite appropriate as I understand Jesus may have been born there...) and it's nice and quiet.

As for the "sitting there versus someone wanting to take a photograph" tension, again the only practical and fair solution is time-share. One lot should wait a while and the other lot should only sit there for a while. It ought to be an unwritten rule and most people see it like that.

Personally, I see "offerings" as suitable for time-share too, but that might cause a row here so pretend I haven't said it.
