The Nation’s Most Loved Landmarks Revealed
We’ve just unveiled the Seven Wonders of Britain – the most popular landmarks which, according to holidaymakers, should be top of any sightseeing list. And it shows that the nation is shunning modern man-made attractions for natural and historic sights, with prehistoric monument Stonehenge, topping the list.
The New Seven Wonders of Britain are:
- Stonehenge
- Hadrian’s Wall
- The White Cliffs of Dover
- Loch Ness
- Snowdonia
- Edinburgh Castle
- Cheddar Gorge
According to our survey of 1,000 holidaymakers it appears that when it comes to landmarks, country beats city nine times out of ten. What’s more, 88 per cent of respondents think there are more interesting places to see in the UK than overseas, with more people preferring to visit Blackpool Tower than the Egyptian pyramids (55 per cent v. 14 per cent)!
Apart from our famous landmarks, when asked what they most associate with a great British break nearly a third of 18-24 year olds said fish and chips on the pier, whereas for over 35 year olds, it’s our country’s spectacular scenery.
cottages4you believe this shows the value we place on our natural and historic landmarks and just how spoilt for choice we are with so many fantastic places to visit in the UK. We think the rich diversity of stunning scenery, beautiful beaches, historic monuments and grand stately homes make the UK a unique holiday destination for all ages and we’re so glad holidaymakers agree with us!
