Stonehenge tunnel plan 'modern scar on ancient landscape' [View all]
Stonehenge tunnel plan 'modern scar on ancient landscape'
31 March 2017
From the section Wiltshire
A farmer who owns land which a Stonehenge tunnel would pass through says it would be a "modern scar on an ancient landscape".
The government wants to build a 1.8 mile (2.9 km) tunnel past the ancient landmark in a bid to improve journey times on the A303.
But archaeologists have warned the plans would cause irreversible damage.
Farmer Rachel Hosier said if the scheme were to go ahead it would leave her "heartbroken".
