While Google has caught grief about privacy issues in some European countries, in the UK, the country’s tourism agency, VisitBritain, has been courting Google to map UK castles, coastal paths, natural wonders, historic buildings and monuments, and sports stadia this summer. To go off-road and capture photos of these places, the Street View UK team is utilizing a three-wheeled bike outfitted with the same 360-degree directional camera set-up it uses in cars that do the same job on streets around the world.

I thought the video posted by Google Street View UK below is especially, I don’t know, historic? I’m guessing that if post-apocaplytic geologists discover this video in a few thousand years, they’ll speculate it is some strange religious ceremony.

  • Awesome! Having been there, it's kinda weird how isolated a place this is. If this was in America, we'd have about 40 fast food restaurants forming the outter ring.
