As someone who spent a summer’s day on a coach trip to the tourist spot, I
have to say that he would be better off making visitors walk to the stones,
or else put a huge glass dome over the circle itself if he wants to make
visitors linger. Salisbury Plain, even at the height of summer, is a giant
wind tunnel, and only the hardy or those with several jumpers are likely to
take their time pondering the ancient significance of the stones.
He might also want to have a word with the coach companies, who stick Stonehenge onto trips to Bath, giving people a fairly small window to get around the
site before their coach departs. As long as he’s got a few more ladies’ loos
and a decent café, I’m sure people are more likely to stick around. Despite
the sense of the absurd as you shuffle around in a circle, ears clamped to
headsets playing pan pipe music as your fellow tourists pose for pictures
(top pose I noted was pretending you were holding up the Stones) Stonehenge
still has a certain elemental allure, greatly enhanced I might add by a big
jumper.
