Stonehenge should be one of the wonders of the world, or so more than a quarter of Brits say, according to a new survey.

Travel website Travelbag surveyed more than 2,000 Brits and found Stonehenge deserves a spot among the New Seven Wonders of the World.

More than 2,000 people were asked to judge the Neolithic monument alongside the likes of the Leaning Tower of Pisa and the Great Barrier Reef.

"Stonehenge is a much loved and iconic monument and one which captivates visitors from all around the globe."

The key findings from the survey included that Stonehenge is often mistaken for one of the World's New Seven Wonders by 29 per cent of Brits.

Also mistaken for one of these 'wonders' was Big Ben, which is one of the most visited landmarks in the world.

Speaking to the Journal, Henry Howlett, Online Travel Specialist at Travelbag said: "Our research shows that 26 per cent of Brits believe Stonehenge deserves a place among the World’s New Wonders.

"Interestingly, nearly 30 per cent of people mistakenly think it’s already on the list, highlighting both the national pride surrounding this iconic site and its remarkable status."

Henry continued: "These findings demonstrate just how strongly Brits feel that Stonehenge should be recognised as one of the New Seven Wonders of the World."

The original Seven Wonders of the Ancient World included:

  • the Pyramids at Giza;
  • the Hanging Gardens of Babylon;
  • the Statue of Zeus at Olympia;
  • the Temple of Artemis at Ephesus;
  • the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus;
  • the Colossus of Rhodes;
  • and the Lighthouse of Alexandria.
