Apparently there is a muddy puddle some distance from a couple of the stones. Thankfully some of the best brains in the land have been employed at vast expense to do a risk assessment and have wisely erred on the side of extreme caution. The prospect of visitors blindly wading through "deepening mud" and destroying the archaeology has meant the closure of much of the Avebury site. In a fit of unbridled generosity the National Trust have decided to waive parking charges thus allowing the curious to park uip and look at the stones through their car windscreens and take a sip from their thermos while gnashing their teeth.

You see the danger is... that many people do not have the sense to walk around a puddle.
