Stonehenge Alliance

Stonehenge Alliance

The Stonehenge Alliance is a group of non-governmental organisations and individuals that seeks enhancements to the Stonehenge World Heritage Site (WHS) and opposes development that would cause it significant harm. 

The Alliance is a not for profit organisation that relies entirely on donations from campaign supporters and the voluntary efforts of activists.

Through its Save Stonehenge World Heritage Site campaign, the Alliance is concentrating its efforts on opposing the proposal for dualling the A303 including a short tunnel across Stonehenge WHS announced in December 2014, which would result in serious damage to the WHS landscape. This action includes our petitions to the Secretaries of State for Transport and Culture which continue to attract supporters from the UK and around the world.

The Stonehenge Alliance supported the Save Stonehenge WHS Ltd legal challenge to the road scheme and will continue to do so if necessary.

We raise awareness of the likelihood of Stonehenge’s loss of World Heritage Site status and its wider impact should UNESCO’s advice continue to be ignored.  
We have:

Hon Sec Dr Kate Fielden at National Trust AGM in 2017

- lobbied government at all levels and all relevant departments,
- held challenging dialogue with Highways England, the promoters of the road scheme,
- collaborated with over 90 members of the National Trust who object to the scheme, 
- engaged with campaign supporters from over 100 countries, represent all walks of life and backgrounds, hold a variety of beliefs or none and yet are united by the spirit of the World Heritage Site, and
- supported and helped to raise funds for Save Stonehenge World Heritage Site Ltd’s successful legal challenge to the Transport Secretary’s decision to grant a Development Consent Order for the road scheme in November 2020.

Together, our supporters and Alliance partners express the truth about the World Heritage Site’s Outstanding Universal Value. 

We believe that these actions are effective and have caused government to be concerned about our wide reach.
