Stonehenge, on Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire, is one of 21 finalists

A tourist manager is reminding people that historic Stonehenge could still take the prestigious title of one of the New 7 Wonders of the World.

The ancient monument in Wiltshire is one of 21 finalists in the race to elect the new wonders.

Stuart Maugham, Stonehenge head of visitor ops, said: "This is a wonderful opportunity for Stonehenge to receive lasting international recognition."

The New 7 Wonders of the World will be announced in Portugal on 7 July.

Mr Maugham added: "If you haven't yet voted and would like to see Stonehenge amongst the winners of this prestigious title, there is plenty of time to vote, so pick up your mouse or phone now and help make history."

Currently, the top finalists are: the Colosseum, the Great Wall of China, Machu Picchu, the Pyramids at Giza, Petra, the Statues of Easter Island and the Taj Mahal.
