Buckingham Palace is the number one destination for overseas tourists visiting the UK

Despite booming numbers from abroad for the UK’s top attractions, a recent YouGov survey has revealed that the majority of adults have not visited the country’s top attractions with one in six respondents stating they had not visited any major attractions.

The survey, commissioned by Sykes Cottages, sampled 2,105 adults and revealed that just 35 per cent of survey respondents had visited Stonehenge in Wiltshire while only 38 per cent of people living in the UK have visited Buckingham Palace in the nation’s capital.

Only 21 per cent have made the journey to Hadrian’s Wall in Cumbria and just 20 per cent travelled to Caernarfon Castle in Wales.

The attractions least visited by UK residents were the Royal Armouries in Leeds (9 per cent) and Durham Cathedral in County Durham (16 per cent).

The full list of attractions and percentage of UK adults who have visited them is:

Buckingham Palace 38 per cent

Edinburgh Castle 38 per centStonehenge 35 per cent

The National Gallery in London 33 per centRoman Baths in Bath 29 per cent
