STONEHENGE, Wembley Stadium and even Brighton Palace Pier are among the UK landmarks adults have yet to see.
A list compiled by Greene King Inns revealed Brighton Palace Pier had not been visited by 69 per cent of adults.
The Sussex landmark, which originally opened in 1899, ranked 43rd on the list of unseen landmarks.
The study of 2,000 adults also found that London sites such as the British Museum, St Paul’s Cathedral and Tate Britain have been seen by less than two thirds of the population.
Belfast’s Metropolitan Arts Centre topped the list, with 95 per cent of adults having not visited the Northern Ireland venue, followed by the Wales National Pool in Swansea (94 per cent) and the RSPB Belfast's Window on Wildlife (94 per cent).
Two thirds of those polled had never visited Stonehenge, while just one in five had clapped eyes on Gateshead’s Angel of the North.
A fifth even said they live within five miles of a major cultural tourist attraction or landmark.
However, the research found with many of the nation’s favourite holiday destinations off limits this summer, almost half of adults will be making more effort to explore the best the UK has to offer.

Liane Hunt, for Greene King Inns, said having missed out on seeing many of the landmarks pre-Covid, Brits are ready to take the opportunity to return.
"There is so much to see and do right on our doorsteps, and with the current travel restrictions, there has never been a better time to get out exploring,” she said.
“When booking a staycation, 29 per cent of people say they want to be close to attractions, while a further 21 per cent like to be near a pub.”
