I visited Stonehenge in the mid 90's site and was awestruck as were may people around me.
I think it is important to preserve cultural images as much as possible ..... what's next for demolition.....the Pyramids ?

The battle for the future of Stonehenge
Missed this the first time. No matter if it's a favorite it is an important monument, one that needs protecting.

Fortunately the British are reasonably good at these things, shipping London Bridge off to Arizona aside. Tunnel, bypass or whatever I have faith the right thing will be done. However it will not be without lots of debate and rankle.
 
And why Stonehenge, which represents myth & beauty and life Before Oil? Why not i.e. cars, etc. of oil executives? To me, a lover of Stonehenge, privileged to have seen it alone several times, with only me & nature & Stonehenge, this is a horrendous act.
 
My last visit to Stonehenge was for Summer Solstice in 2014. Found this photo of a couple of young ladies that had captured the spirit:

No need to worry about Stone Henge being over run by numbskull tourists who think its name is Stone Hedge. Send them to Washington in the USA.

They can see a real volcano that actually killed people, and a fine replica of Stone Henge. Also, the Maryhill museum is a true hidden gem.

Erected as the nation’s first WWI memorial and dedicated in 1918 to the servicemen of Klickitat County, Washington, who died in the service of their country during the Great War, Hill’s Stonehenge Memorial is a monument to heroism and peace.

Hill erroneously believed that the original Stonehenge was constructed as a place of human sacrifice. Concluding there was a parallel between the loss of life in WWI and the sacrifices at ancient Stonehenge, he set out to build a replica on the cliffs of the Columbia as a reminder of those sacrifices and the “incredible folly” of the war.

Guided by leading authorities on archaeology, astronomy, and engineering, Hill combined their knowledge to duplicate, as nearly as possible, the original size and design of the ancient Neolithic ruin in England.

The Maryhill museum is another gem holding many fine art works.

From there tour the wine country of Washington. Or if you can’t read go south to Oregon and marvel at what Portlandian thinking can do to an entire state.
