British landmarks

Stonehenge

2000 BCE

Stonehenge is widely considered as one of the wonders of the world. The prehistoric monument, believed to been a burial site, has been transformed into a wonderful visitor experience and one we strongly recommend. It's thought to have been built from 3000 BC to 2000 BC, making it by far the oldest of the landmarks on our list.
There's far more to enjoy throughout the Avebury World Heritage Site than simply stone circles. Stonehenge is surrounded by the largest collection of Neolithic monuments.

Roman Baths, Bath

Period: 60 to 370

The Celts built the first shrine here, but it was the Romans who over several centuries gradually built the bathing complex we know today.. There's the bronze goddess at the temple of Sulis Minerva, the sacred area of the Temple courtyard, and the Spring overflow which truly shows off the Roman's ingenuity.
The temple was constructed in 60–70 AD and the bathing complex was gradually built up over the next 300 years.

Hadrian's Wall

122

It's hard to imagine what life was really like in AD 122, when Emperor Hadrian ordered the wall to mark out the Roman Empire, but exploring the site will help you picture it. It was made a UNESCO World Heritage Site back in 1987, and there's plenty to see along the Wall, too, including Birdoswald Roman Fort, Corbridge Roman Town and both Housesteads and Chesters Roman Forts.

Windsor Castle

1050

Originally built in the 11th century, following the Norman invasion, the Castle has been home to monarchs since Henry I.
Henry III built a stunning royal palace within the Castle, which Edward III made even more luxurious during a renovation which became the most expensive building project of the entire Middle Ages. Having also been used as both a military base during the English Civil War simply walking around the imposing towers and battlements is a real thrill.

Edinburgh Castle

1150

there's much to explore in this landmark...There has been a royal castle on the rock since at least the reign of David I in the 12th century, and the site continued to be a royal residence until 1633.
Once home to Queen Margaret (later St Margaret, who also died here in 1093) and Mary Queen of Scots, who gave birth to James VI inside the Royal Palace in 1566, the castle's importance as part of Scotland's heritage became apparent in the 19th century when restoration projects began.
