The best views of Stonehenge are from some distance off, following the route of the Avenue uphill is a worthwhile experience. I felt a bit sorry for the hundreds of visitors, many of whom had been brought by coach, to pay nearly £15 a time and yet they were missing out of the 'hidden' Stonehenge - which is actually free and and in clear view. From the landscape it looks down on. The best views of Edinburgh Castle are from vantage points around the city and further afield. Some people are parted with their cash to stumble along the cobbles and look at the (mostly) Victorian buildings. Weird, but I suppose they are mostly from abroad and might be momentarily confused, mistaking "local custom" for "being ripped off". The idea of paying to go and stand, wander round and look at either a historic monument like Stonehenge or a relatively modern building like Edinburgh Castle is weird. I just don't see any "purchase". Reply | with quote |  6th March 2015ce 07:37 In reply to: Re: King Arthur responds (tjj) |
