| For
thousands of years, Stonehenge stood in an isolated
setting surrounded by chalk downland. More recently,
two roads were established through the landscape
and gradually upgraded, resulting in ever-increasing
traffic and serious environmental problems. The
monument's visitor facilities have been described
as 'cramped' and denounced by Parliament as 'a national
disgrace'. At last, national and local government,
the Highways Agency, English Heritage, the National
Trust and English Nature have joined forces to deliver
a plan - the Stonehenge Project. |
