This is one of the world’s most famous prehistoric monuments and is top of many visitor lists. Located in Wiltshire, England, Stonehenge was built by Neolithic builders, and it is believed that this monument took almost 1500 years to build. One of the key features is a ring of roughly 100 standing stones that weigh about 25 tons. The peculiar thing about these stones is that they’ve been arranged in a circular pattern.

This landmark is regarded as a special British cultural icon and was once commonly used as a burial ground. It also served other purposes; however, those aren’t quite known.

You can visit Stonehenge as part of an organised tour or make the journey yourself via car or public transport.

A trip to London is incomplete without paying a visit to the famous Windsor Castle. Windsor Castle is the oldest and largest occupied castle in the world, located in the county of Berkshire but easily accessible from London.

For over 1,000 years, Windsor Castle has been an official home to the British Royal family, with kings and queens using it as their weekend home. If the Royal Standard is flying when you visit, it means that Queen Elizabeth II is home.

The most striking feature of Windsor Castle has to be its magnificent size, which is exactly 5.3 hectares/13 acres. The castle was built during the 11th century and now serves as a tourist spot with numerous areas to explore.
