Campaigners are set for a High Court battle with the government over plans to build a tunnel close to the great circle of Stonehenge which they claim could put the prehistoric site’s Unesco world heritage status at risk.
A group of “mostly retired” archaeologists, environmentalists, historians, transport experts, countryside campaigners and druids will try to stop the building of a two-mile road tunnel along the A303 in Wiltshire - a major route between the southeast and southwest.
