Tower Bridge over the Thames

England is the largest country that is part of the United Kingdom. The most visited city in the country is, of course, London. However, in England, in addition to the capital, there are many interesting places that are worth attention.

Thanks to the compact size of the country and excellent transport connections, all important sights are within reach of the capital. Tourists in England are waiting for wonderful architectural monuments, castles, national parks, charming coastline, islands and, of course, primordial English traditions.

Misty Albion hides many unique objects and wonders of the world. But there are sights worth visiting first. This is, of course, the mighty Stonehenge and the Jurassic Coast.

Stonehenge

It is one of the most visited and interesting sights in England. The mystical stone circle is a fantastic sight. Stone blocks amaze the imagination. Initially, the construction of the complex was associated with the activities of the Druids. However, archaeological research suggests that Stonehenge dates back to at least the Bronze Age and predates Merlin. The best time to visit this wonder of the world is early in the morning, before the main flow of tourists.

Jurassic coast

Stretching 153 kilometers along the coastline of the English Channel between east Devon and Dorset, the Jurassic Coast has a lot to say about the Earth's geological past. The rock steps cover three periods of the Mesozoic, including the Jurassic period. Since 2001, the Jurassic coast has been included in the list of world heritage of humanity under the auspices of UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization).

England's cultural and historical heritage is colossal. Many events took place here that influenced European and world history. Today, part of this heritage has been preserved in the architectural monuments of the country.
