Stonehenge

Stonehenge is designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site as well as an English Heritage site. It is located in the English county of Wiltshire, close to the cathedral city of Salisbury. A visit to Stonehenge is high on many tourists' (and Brits') bucket lists, with approximately 800,000 people choosing to visit Stonehenge each year.

With an estimated age of 5000 years, Stonehenge is both the oldest and most famous building on our list. These ancient stones have stood motionless for the duration of history as it is known, withstanding the Saxons, the Romans, the Elizabethans, and the Victorians. They will likely also survive us. The location itself is equally stunning and enigmatic.
