One of the world’s best known and most important prehistoric monuments, Stonehenge, is an architectural wonder visited by tourists year-round to see the iconic stones in person. Its first parts were built around 5,000 years ago and have been associated with early burial rituals. Since then, Stonehenge and its location have been the subject of various research on its purpose during the Bronze Age. Curious visitors can take advantage of multiple tours to Stonehenge from London to learn all about the fascinating history of the monument and its surrounding areas. Plus, if you time your visit depending on the summer or winter solstices, you could catch the sunrise or sunset peeking through the stones for a beautiful photo that looks like it came out from a green screen.
Windsor Castle

Take a peek into the regal lifestyle of British royalty at Windsor Castle. Since its founding in the 11th century, the castle has been the royal residence of 39 monarchs, making it the world’s oldest and largest occupied castle–Queen Elizabeth II typically spends her weekends at the royal building. Windsor Castle occupies 13,000 acres of land, including the State Apartments, St. George’s Chapel, the Horseshoe Cloister, and more. Guests can wander the grand halls of the State Apartments into the ceremonial rooms that are actively used by the Queen for official visits and other ceremonies, like the Grand Reception Room. Every room and hall is beautifully decorated with ornate furniture and the finest works of art, all of which will have you in awe. One more thing that shouldn’t be missed with your visit is the Changing of the Guard, wherein groups of guards hand over their duties through an elaborate ceremony that is truly a spectacle.
Bath

The city of Bath, located in Somerset, England, is the largest city in the county, named after its Roman baths. The town became famous for the springs from their baths, which were claimed to have curative properties. There are various remains of Roman life and culture throughout the spa town, from the baths to the historic Temple of Sulis Minerva, and other underground archeological findings. Visitors can take their own relaxing, yet modern, bath at Thermae Bath Spa’s rooftop pool, or visit The Jane Austen Centre for an immersive glimpse into the renowned author’s life and work when she stayed in the city. Bath is a well-loved tourist destination for its unique shops and restaurants, handsome Georgian architecture, and its proximity to Stonehenge’s location, along with other scenic destinations.
