Great Britain's Historical Landmarks

Stonehenge:- When writing about historical landmarks in the UK, it would seem almost churlish to start anywhere but Stonehenge. Regardless of how you know of it - be it The Beatles performing in 'Help!' with a clearly visible Stonehenge in the background, the infamous rock classic "Stonehenge" in mockumentary 'This is Spinal Tap', or more recently several episodes of 'Doctor Who', the point is we all know of it.
Edinburgh Castle:- Looking over the wonderful Scottish capital is the magnificent Edinburgh Castle. 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.
Roman Baths, Bath:- The Celts built the first shrine here, but it was the Romans who over several centuries gradually built the bathing complex we know today. Although visitors cannot enter the hot springs, which are heated by geothermal energy before rising through faults in the limestone, there's plenty to see and do here to get your historical feet wet. 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 Roman's ingenuity.
Windsor Castle:- Taking the Long Walk up to Windsor Castle never fails to excite the historian in us. It's The Queen's favourite weekend getaway home, and one of her majesty's official residences, but away from the Castle it will take you at least two days to see everything Windsor has to offer.
Ironbridge Gorge:- As the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution, the Ironbridge Gorge was home to some of the most significant technological breakthroughs in our history. The idea for the Iron Bridge - the world's first - was conceived in 1775 in a bid to improve communication from either side of Shropshire's River Severn.
Hadrian's Wall:- At 73 miles, you'd be forgiven for not exploring all of Hadrian's Wall (especially as it doesn't remain in its entirety). However, even small segments can give visitors a taste of Roman life, as well as the chance to experience some of the most beautiful and dramatic countrysides in the country, from Wallsend through Carlisle to Bowness-on-Solway.
