Stonehenge feature and interview - Government 'open minded' on the tunnel

<< Sites under Threat >>

Stonehenge feature and interview with Baroness Blackstone, Minister for the Arts from this morning's BBC Radio 4 Today. Also a text report by Tom Fielden.

National Trust members - don't forget the forthcoming vote on the subject. A cut & cover tunnel will seriously damage the WHS viewed as a whole. Don't know how long the link will be up - be quick! Requires RealAudio
