Avis survey reveals 45% of us don’t know where Stonehenge is!
With summer 2009 dubbed as ‘The Great British Staycation’, Avis Rent A Car decided to put the Nation to the test to see how well we know our city skylines from our hidden gems.
The findings revealed some shocking results; 45% of us don’t know where Stonehenge is, and over 30% confused the Scottish Sands of Morar for a beach in the Caribbean! British city skylines were mistaken for Sao Paulo and New York, and UK ports were thought as beautiful as those of Cyprus.
With summer 2009 dubbed as ‘The Great British Staycation’, Avis Rent A Car decided to put the Nation to the test to see how well we know our city skylines from our hidden gems.
The findings revealed some shocking results; 45% of us don’t know where Stonehenge is, and over 30% confused the Scottish Sands of Morar for a beach in the Caribbean! British city skylines were mistaken for Sao Paulo and New York, and UK ports were thought as beautiful as those of Cyprus.
However, all is not lost - 74% of respondents confirmed that the Angel of The North is situated in Gateshead and 65% knew that the White Horse landmark is in Wiltshire.
Perhaps the most shocking result of all was that 40% of us could not identify the oldest and largest castle in the world - Windsor Castle - an Official Residence of Her Majesty The Queen!
It goes to show that there’s a wealth of world-class destinations and spectacular scenery right here in Britain – from stunning cityscapes to idyllic beaches – and you don’t need to go too far to see them!
