Stonehenge one of world's most threatened wonders

Reminds me of this:

What do they mean exactly by "threatened"? I don't know of any plans to build any multi-lane superhighways over the site any time soon, and I expect there'd be a bit of a fuss if anyone did consider such a thing. Sounds like some sensationalist journalism at Wanderlust magazine in an attempt to get a bit of publicity, is what I'd say. And does it really "need more visitors", seeing that every single guide book and every list of "Places you must visit!" invariably include it? Besides, how is encouraging more visitors a way to conserve anywhere?

What do they mean exactly by "threatened"? thats what i was wondering, its not like there gonna move one of the wonders of the world for a road.....

Threatened? How so? When I went to Stonehenge, us tourists weren't allowed anywhere near the thing. We had to walk along this concrete path around it. Sorta made one feel like a leper.

That's what I thought. It's been a long time since visitors were allowed up on the site itself.

I don't know what would be such a threat to solid stone thats stood there for 1000s of years in all weather, earthquakes and everything else nature threw at it. I remember walking through it and touching it as a kid back in the 80s, can't get near it any more.

Stonehenge isn't the only ancient megalith site in Britain. If you can't get to Stonehenge, don't despair. Visit other places instead. Stone Circles and Megaliths
