I am hoping to visit the Stonehenge again later on in the year to check out the new visitor centre etc. I noticed on the E.H. website that early morning / late evening pre-booked visits are available at (of course) extra cost. These visits are limited to 26 people and allow access into the centre of the stones. So far so good. However, it then goes on to say that TOUCHING the stones is NOT allowed! Why not?
Does E.H. stop those visiting on the solstice (or for any other reason) touching the stones? – I somehow doubt it. Why then the double standards? Although I don’t claim to ‘feel’ anything when touching a stone (nor believe in it for that matter) there is something ‘human’ about wanting to touch something as well as see it.
I think I shall have to e-mail E.H. to seek out their rationale.
