Google should go to Stonehenge, says UK

Wed 15 July 2009 09:05, Editors

Google Streetview has already covered a lot of places in the UK. Still there are some spots which still need to be visited by either the car or the Google bike.

Google has found that most people in the UK think Stonehenge is the place to be photographed by the camera cycle of Google.

Six places that were voted top in a Google poll can now be expecting the Streetview cameras. Next to Stonehenge the Millennium Stadium, Angel of the North, Loch Ness, Eden Project and Warwick Castle were voted into the final 16. Google also 'gave away' a 'wild card' to Bamburgh Castle because Google feels this site is of such beauty it should be photographed.

Google stated: "We've seen a tremendous amount of enthusiasm from British people to get their favourite places onto Street View. Now it's down to our super fit tricyclists to get cracking and photograph these places so that curious historians, students and tourists all over the globe can soon admire the country's heritage and plan their next weekend away."
