Whoops, I didn't quite make myself very clear when I said I
"absolutely agree", I was trying to say that I absolutely agree that
Stonehenge is worth a visit, rather than agreeing that it was a
disappointment.

It can be both at the same time. Many places are like that. I'd include
both John O Groats and Lands End (and the less well known "most
southerly point") in that category.

Call me a philistine, but I was very disappointed by the Colosseum in
Rome. All the tourist literature kept wittering on about it being
"bigger than you can possibly imagine", and when I got there it was
smaller than I was expecting. But it was worth seeing, just to
understand what it was all about.

The one at Pula in Croatia is better, as it is still used (though as a
cinema - you can't get the lions these days).
