of charm as the “wonders of the world”. So if you are a resident of UK or a

Cheddar Gorge
Whose dramatic cliff faces are said to “closely mimic” those of the Arizona landmark.Cheddar Gorge is a limestone
gorge in the Mendip Hills, near the village of Cheddar in Somerset, England.
The gorge is the site of the Cheddar show caves, where Britain's oldest
complete human skeleton, Cheddar Man, estimated to be 9,000 years old, was found
in 1903.Older remains from the Upper Late Palaeolithic era (12,000–13,000 years
ago) have been found. The caves, produced by the activity of an underground

2.Machu Picchu ,
Peru Vs Tintagel Castle Cornwall Coast
UK
Machu Picchu ,Cusco
Region of Peru
7,000 feet above sea level and
nestled on a small hilltop between the Andean Mountain Range, the majestic city
soars above the Urabamba Valley below. The Incan built structure has been
deemed the “Lost Cities”, unknown until its relatively recent discovery in
1911. Archaeologists estimate that approximately 1200 people could have lived
in the area, though many theorize it was most likely a retreat for Incan
rulers. Due to it’s isolation from the rest of Peru, living in the area full
time would require traveling great distances just to reach the nearest village.
