Google Trike vote opens

Google's project to add more UK locations to its Street View service is running a public vote to decide which areas to include.

The Google Trike will visit the three locations that receive the most votes in order to create three-dimensional representations that can be viewed online.

More than 10,000 suggestions were received by Google and the company has whittled them down to a shortlist of 16.

The finalists are: Angel of the North, Bamburgh Castle, Cheddar Gorge, Colchester Castle, Corfe Castle, Durdle Door, Eden Project, Ironbridge, Kenilworth Castle, Lands End, Leeds Castle, Loch Ness, Millennium Stadium, Pembrokeshire Coast, Stonehenge and Warwick Castle.

You can cast your vote on the Google Maps website.

A Google spokesman said: "We've been thrilled with the suggestions made by the British public and are excited to see where our tricyclist will visit first.

"Whatever takes your fancy, from the modern to the historic, the natural to the man-made, we hope the public will get voting to put their tourist gems on the map," the spokesman continued.
