For many years I have studied ancient sites and have visited many World Heritage sites across the globe One of the things that I have come to realise is that almost ubiquitously there are signs of historical damage done by previous generations to these important and unique sites.
There is graffiti all over the great pyramids of Egypt, there is damage to the ecosystem of the Great Barrier Reef, there are roads that run through Avebury and many of the Stones have been destroyed with fire and water changing forever the nature of these historic sites.
We have this one opportunity to protect Stonehenge and preserve it as best we can for future generations and this is why I am adding my voice to those who object to any change in the Stonehenge landscape. So that in the future a traveller enjoying the wonderful Wiltshire countryside will hopefully not look back with regret and shame that our generation did irreversible damage to this wonderful place.
