I first visited Stonehenge 41 years ago on my way down to Cornwall for one of the first holidays I had without my parents. It was deserted and I walked around it in awe. I touched the stones that were standing and sat on one that wasn't (sorry). It left a lasting impression on me.
I took a German friend there a few years ago and I WAS disappointed. The whole site was fenced off and somehow 'sanitised'. I know it was suffering from abuse, intended or otherwise, and the fences were deemed necessary but it just wasn't the same. The grandure, if that's the right word, was missing. To most of the people that were wandering around the perimeter it might just as well have been a concrete creation in a theme park. I prefer to remember it the way it was when I first saw (and felt) it in '62.
