Top Ten Best Places To
Visit In The United Kingdom
Jonathan Williams



If you're a hog for beautiful architecture and rich
history, then you couldn't possibly think about missing
out on the sights and sounds of the United Kingdom.
This place, with its beautiful castles and heavenly
Cathedrals, is any architecture enthusiast's dream.
Its beautiful green landscapes are a sight
to behold, too. Indeed, you'll be hard-put to find
a place more picturesque than the United Kingdom.



1.) London

A trip to the UK will never be complete if you don't
explore the city of London first. There, you can see
the world-famous Big Ben, a huge clock that stood
the test of time, and you can also find the Westminster
Palace, the Westminster Abbey, and St.Paul's
Cathedral – all are great sights to behold. Of course,
let's not forget about all of London's restaurants,
parks, and shopping centers, and truly, London isn't
a city that you should bypass.



2.) Stonehenge

Few structures in the earth are as mysterious as the
Stonehenge. Built over 5000 years ago, this massive
conglomeration of huge stones made to fit together
like altars still pose a mystery to all those who see it.
Up until now, there's nobody who knows how the
Stonehenge was built or what it was for.



3.) Bath

Bath, as its name implies, is known for its many
hot springs. You will see here several baths, which
are perfect spots to get some much needed rest and
relaxation. Here, you can get your share of steam and
water in the famous Roman Baths, or better yet, the
great baths themselves.



4.) Scottish Highlands

There's no better way to commune with nature than
to spend a few days in the Scottish highlands, and there,
you can go hiking through the long winding paths or go
kayaking through the raging rivers. It has varied flora and
fauna that's the stuff of the great epics about the knights
of old. You can even visit some of the big fortresses of
the old Scottish warlords, and indeed, you'll feel like
you've stepped into a romance novel. Also, you can
go to the Eilean Donan Castle, where parts of the
movie, Highlander, were filmed.



5.) Canterbury

People who want to go to Canterbury are probably
going there for the beautiful and historic Cathedrals
and churches. There, you can find the famous
Canterbury Cathedral, hailed by many to be the
grandest Cathedral in the whole of England. Here, you
can also find the oldest church in England, the
Church of St. Martin.



6.) Oxford

The picturesque town of Oxford is the home of the
esteemed Oxford University, one of the most esteemed
universities in the whole world. Also, from the city of Oxford,
you can go to the Costwolds, a beautiful sample of the
gentle hills of England's countryside. You can even see
quaint brick houses littering the place, and for added effect,
you can go horseback-riding through these parts.



7.) York

If you're one for visiting old towns that make you feel like
you've traveled back in time, then the town of York is the place
for you. It's complete with a huge Cathedral, picturesque
houses, and a big wall surrounding the city. It's one of the
most well-preserved cities in the whole of United Kingdom.



8.) Wales

The United Kingdom is a place filled with fantasy and
romanticism, so if you're into these kinds of things, you surely
can't miss Wales since it's the Castle Country. In Wales,
you'll find a variety of castles of different sizes and types.
There's Beaumaris Castle, Caernarfon Castle, and many others,
and they have towers, parapets, draw-bridges, everything that
you can find in your old fairy tales. It'll surely be a magical
experience.



9.) Winchester

Winchester is one of the oldest towns in England.
Subsequently, it has become one of the most historic places in
all of the United Kingdom. It is quite well preserved and
really does have beautiful architecture, and you'll even find a
Cathedral there.



10.) Stratford-upon-Avon

The UK is one of the countries which have produced
several very brilliant minds. In Stratford-upon-Avon, you
can find the graves of Anne Hathaway. Of course, you will
also see the legendary Shakespeare's grave.
