The prehistoric monument, located in Wiltshire, joined a host of the planet's most visited destinations and attractions including Los Angeles and Venice as places that left visitors most unimpressed.

Nicole Scherzinger's favourite pit stop! Singer declares love for British service stations after late night Instagram adventure
For most of us, roadside services are a road trip's necessary evil - an oasis off the motorway offering fast food, pre-packaged sandwiches and fuel. For Nicole Scherzinger, they're an adventure worth celebrating and sharing with the world.
