TOP 5 TOURIST PLACES IN UNITED KINGDOM

 The United Kingdom, made up of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, is an island nation in northwestern Europe.




1. Big Ben



One of the most significant places to visit in UK in summer is the Big Ben. It is, in fact, the name of the clock tower which is located near the Westminster Abbey in central London. The tower, designed by Augustus Pugin, is about a hundred metres tall. The place has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is visited by hordes of tourists every year waiting to get clicked in front of it.

2. London Eye



Think London and the one thing that pops into everyone’s head is this giant Ferris wheel. Located on the river Thames, this popular wheel offers a panoramic view of London and its horizons, which makes it a huge favourite among places to visit in UK for young couples.

3. Stonehenge



A treat for all the history buffs, Stonehenge is a Neolithic site – one of the best places to visit in UK with kids. The site is close to Amesbury, England and is supposed to date back to 3000 BC. It has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1986 and is supposed to have worked as either a burial ground or astronomy site of sorts.

4. Hyde Park



One of the top 5 places to visit in UK, Hyde is one of the four royal parks in London. Located near the Kensington Palace, the place was used as a hunting ground in the late 1600’s. Today, it is one of the major parks in the country and plays a significant role in the cultural scene of the city

5. Dunluce Castle



A medieval castle located in Northern Ireland, Dunluce has an old-timey, rugged feel to it, on contrary to other forts and palaces in places like London. Located on a cliff, the geography around the castle, with steep falls on both sides, might be the reason its first residents chose this place to build a castle on.
