Some people are impossible to impress. Imagine a person who looks at a 5,000-year-old monument and downplays it as a pile of rocks. Or someone who goes to a castle that was originally built in 1068 and calls it a 'Disneyland wannabe'.

They shouldn't be allowed to visit the United Kingdom. But they're not only traveling to the country, they're trashing it public on Tripadvisor, leaving one-star reviews to some of the world's top attractions.

I just hope they're doing it as a joke, otherwise we have to call the Queen and tell her she needs to sign a few deportation papers ASAP!

It's the first tower clock in England and it changed how people lived. It was a huge deal back then. Now, yeah it's just a big old clock. But it is a significant part of history.

The United Kingdom is the 10th biggest tourist destination in the world, with over 37 million visiting the country in 2018. The tourism industry contributed to £213 ($284) billion to the country's GDP in 2017, and this number is expected to grow to £265 ($353) billion by 2028.

Tripadvisor itself describes it as "a country filled with epic landscapes, fairy-tales castles and vibrant modern cities bursting with unforgettable experiences to share. Whether it's gazing at the London skyline from the top of iconic St Paul's and sipping the finest single malt whisky in a pub in the Scottish Highlands, or tracing footsteps of Banksy in Bristol, discovering musical legends in Liverpool and exploring the history of Cardiff Castle in the stunning heart of Wales, there’s a Britain that’s perfect for you."

    But don't worry even if you visit the UK just for one night and the only place you go to is the pub. British people tend to find humor everywhere, including dark or bad situations. However, they often use sarcasm and take the occasional stab at someone else’s expense, so it's important not to take these jokes to heart as they are only meant in jest.

    It's come close to being knocked down a few times n it's history. The Romans were not that impressed by it and did pull some of the stones down to use elsewhere. Plus it was privately owned until the 1920s and either the last private owner or the one before that wanted to knock them all down. Thankfully it's now owned by The National Trust who look after it.

    Tell me about it. Those very large many plants are a total snooze fest. If you want a real dose of adrenaline I suggest you climb up the Monkey Puzzle trees or run through the stinging nettles- you might get some nasty gashes over your body, but man, that will really get you out of those boiling greenhouses and into a nice, chill hospital room.

    I have a story on disappointment to add about this place: I visited these baths with my family a few years ago and for some reason (looking back I don't understand how this came to be) we we're under the impression that this was a place where you could have an original Roman bath experience - including actually bathing. So we packed towels and swimsuits and everything. For me, the truth started to sink in when I saw the "Guide dogs allowed" sign, for my parents it was much, much later. Once we had realised our mistake, we we're terrified that someone would look into our bags and start asking questions. Today it's one of our favourite holiday memories 😅

    Been to Rome a few times and I'll say most of it has turned into huge money grabs from tourist. Tour guides charge over $50 per person for a 2 hour walk around an attraction. The best way to enjoy Rome is to learn about it's history and then go. I remember the first time I went I was telling my family about the Column of Trajan and how to read it and what it was all about. Within 5 minutes I had people standing around me listening. To me it's more fun knowing about the history and then seeing it in person.

In looks like the view in this photograph is taken from the Prince's Street Gardens, but I may be wrong. Luckily, you do not have to climb up that craggy cliffside. The Royal Mile (streets like meander through Edinburgh's Old Town) lead you straight up to the castle gates.

    They have a point - 2,000 years of real, dramatic history, and they have indeed soiled it with crass commercialisation. It's sad, really, as there are hundreds of amazing historical stories to be told by those medieval stones, yet the current owners insist on 'interpreting' the history for their own profit margins. I would much rather see Warwick Castle owned by EH or NT, and the historical aspect restored to its full glory.

    When I went it was practically empty inside the domes... The attractions for both the younger and older were perfect. Showed you how it was built, too- took 20 years to be completed! Ungrateful... I'll say person.

    Crowds are no fun anywhere on holiday, if you want to experience it, go off peak. My own perfect example, been to Venice twice, once in July, once in early April. Made a huge difference and the second time I really fell in love with it. The crowds drown a place and are a huge distraction, so avoid at all costs

    Britain encompasses Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and England. So they are correct. I would never tell a Scot that they are English.

    I've yet to find a castle that was not interesting and I think that comparing landmarks is rather sad. I'm glad they could find at least something interesting, otherwise people like this should stay at home or just go to the beach...less queues for the rest of us

    Stupid argument about whether Scots are British when the (12th century) castle predates Britain's occupation of Scotland. The point of THIS article being that an uncultured and dolt of a tourist hasn't the palate nor appreciation for this marvel. Give 'em a plate of hot dogs cut into their spaghetti and send them home. Pearls before swine...

    "Britain's occupation of Scotland..." Does not make sense. Perhaps "England's occupation..." but Scotland, being part of Britain, cannot occupy itself.

    I think giving a bad review only reflects on you. Honestly .... you don’t even really know where you were! Castle tours are a necessity of the 20th century. Most of them are owned by family member who live there but have tours to keep them open.

    You can't blame English Heritage for charging healthy entrance fees for one of the most visited attractions in UK tourism. The fact is the organisation has responsibility for the care of 800 monuments around the country, and the vast majority (80 percent) are free to enter. Income to maintain HUNDREDS of historic sites that can't attract any paying tourists has to come from somewhere.

    This person did NOT go to Stonehenge. There are no "food" shops, there are no "entry" fees, there is no "staff." You can walk around Stonehenge but that is all. We went on a tour and our guide was incredible. His "lecture" was one of the best I have ever heard. I wish I had recorded it.

    Ah - no. The visitor centre is about a mile away from the stones with a gift shop, exhibition and cafe. You do also have to pay to walk near to the stones - you get a little over 9 metres away from them. There are grounds around the stones that can be walked on for free.

    Do any of these people actually know the history of Stonehenge or do they just think it’s a pile of rocks? Also on a side note, do they offer helicopter tours that fly over Stonehenge? You can see what it is better from an aerial view.
