A More Dignified Setting at Stonehenge

At the heart of our proposals is the desire to reconnect the subtle relationship the Stones have with the landscape that our ancestors treasured.

Closing the A344 from Stonehenge Bottom to the Stones will reunite the monument with its ancient processional Avenue and improve the landscape setting of the Stones, fulfilling the commitment made by the UK government in 1986 when Stonehenge was designated as a World Heritage Site.

Restricting vehicular traffic on the A344 between the Stones and Airman's Corner, and on Byways 11 and 12, will reduce the visual impact of traffic on the monuments and landscape, as well as improving the experience of pedestrians using these routes.

Removal of the current car park and facilities will result in more land reverting to the ecologically rich grassland of the Stonehenge landscape. Only a minimal operations facility will remain, carefully concealed in the landscape.
