Britain Burnishes The Image Of Stonehenge
Author: Michael Holden, Reuters Source: Canada.com
Title: BRITAIN BURNISHES THE IMAGE OF STONEHENGE

The circle of towering megaliths on Salisbury Plain in southwest England has been at the centre of arguments for years over how to ease congestion and to improve facilities at the World Heritage Site for the thousands of visitors it attracts.
“Stonehenge is our most important and well recognised prehistoric site and as such is absolutely at the heart of our national history and heritage,” said Culture Minister Barbara Follett.
“Everyone agrees however that the way is it presented to visitors is far short of ideal.”

I wholly agree with their attempts at preserving the site. Ancient historical sites are a gem to many. As a Pagan, I certainly appreciate the implications for the decision (i.e. having the ability to visit time and again, future generations allowed to marvel as we do, etc...) .

p.s. I wish Irish officials would take a second (or third) look at plans to run a highway near the Hill of Tara and scrap it.
