Google Street View now has a 96% coverage of streets in the UK. Privacy concerns aside, this is great news for anyone wanting to get an insight into certain parts of the UK before they visit. You can explore such places as Gold Hill in Shaftesbury (from the base of the hill, at least), well known from its appearance in Hovis adverts, and of course more well known landmarks such as Stonehenge in Wiltshire. This comes on the back of various National Trust properties having been added to the service last January.

I must be in the 0.4% cos it hasn’t got my remote farm on it LOL. what I found interesting is that I spotted the google car when I was in the village one day, and so it has me, my friend and my car on the village street view. Its a #lameclaimtofame but it tickled me.

You might like to check your maths there, Chris. 96% leaves 4% uncovered, not 0.4%!
