<P> Between 1972 and 1984, Stonehenge was the site of the Stonehenge Free Festival . After the Battle of the Beanfield in 1985, this use of the site was stopped for several years and ritual use of Stonehenge is now heavily restricted . Some Druids have arranged an assembling of monuments styled on Stonehenge in other parts of the world as a form of Druidist worship . </P> <P> When Stonehenge was first opened to the public it was possible to walk among and even climb on the stones, but the stones were roped off in 1977 as a result of serious erosion . Visitors are no longer permitted to touch the stones, but are able to walk around the monument from a short distance away . English Heritage does, however, permit access during the summer and winter solstice, and the spring and autumn equinox . Additionally, visitors can make special bookings to access the stones throughout the year . </P> <P> The access situation and the proximity of the two roads has drawn widespread criticism, highlighted by a 2006 National Geographic survey . In the survey of conditions at 94 leading World Heritage Sites, 400 conservation and tourism experts ranked Stonehenge 75th in the list of destinations, declaring it to be "in moderate trouble". </P> <P> As motorised traffic increased, the setting of the monument began to be affected by the proximity of the two roads on either side--the A344 to Shrewton on the north side, and the A303 to Winterbourne Stoke to the south . Plans to upgrade the A303 and close the A344 to restore the vista from the stones have been considered since the monument became a World Heritage Site . However, the controversy surrounding expensive re-routing of the roads has led to the scheme being cancelled on multiple occasions . On 6 December 2007, it was announced that extensive plans to build Stonehenge road tunnel under the landscape and create a permanent visitors' centre had been cancelled . </P>
