The Glory of Great Britain

on Sunday, March 31, 2013

The United Kingdom is one of the most prominent countries around the Globe. Whenever we hear the word “Great Britain”, a glimpse of Clock Tower, Buckingham Palace and Tower Bridge glows across the mind. UK is crowded with historic monuments, royal palaces and top museums. In the UK, there is the house where Shakespeare was born or climb cathedral spires or expose the Tower of London’s history. Historic Places like The Palace, Pineapple Dunmore, The Ruin, Glastonbury Abbey and Lincoln Cathedral are worth your sight. Natural Wonders like The Needles, Jurassic Coast and Melham Cove are also appealing sights.  Gardens are one of the most likable places across the UK like Kew Gardens, Studley Royal and National Botanic Garden of Wales. The UK enchants glory and it is enriched with most astounding and appealing places like London’s Royal Park, Columbia Road Flower Market and Chew ton Glen Spa’s. The most attractive sights across the UK include Stonehenge, London’s Eye, Seven Sisters Cliffs, Ardnamurchan the West Coast of Scotland, Calton Hill and even more.

There’s nothing really pretty like getting up high and taking in a wonderful view. Rush to the top of Scottish mountains or look down on the vast lakes of the Lake District from its highest peaks. If that sounds a little arduous, catch a ride to the top of ‘The Shard’ and take in London. Specifically talking about Madame Tassauds Wax Museum first located in Central London, Madame Tassaud learnt the art of Wax modeling from her mother’s boss Doctor Phlipie Curtius who was a physician skilled in waxing. Tassaud started modeling in 1777 and shaped her first wax figure of Voltaire. Other famous people she modeled at that time were Jean-Jacques Rousseau and Benjamin Franklin. Now in the museum, there are a lot of models of historic personalities made by members of Tassaud’s family.

The super sized beings have been a part of UK’s bright folklore for centuries over centuries. They have provided explanations for natural phenomena.  Warwick castle is one of them which is a medieval fort developed from an original built by William the Conqueror in 1068. Warwick is the small country town of Warwickshire, England, located on a bank of the River Avon. The original wooden mote-and-bailey castle was built again in stone in the 12th century. It is the most recognizable example of the 14th century military architecture around the world. The river, which flows beneath the castle on the east side, has battered the rock on which the castle stands, forming a cliff. The river and the cliff form natural defenses for the castle.

One of the huge shopping centers in the world is Trafford Center. Trafford center is a great shopping mall and leisure complex in Dumpling ton, Manchester. Actually, It is the second largest shopping mall in Britain according to its retail size. The Trafford Center unconventional style of construction was provoked by the wish to offer an exclusive shopping experience. John Whittaker, the chairman of Peel Holdings had to persuade some architects that a prolific design would not estrange shoppers.

Giant Structures are a unique style of the British Architecture. Have a look at Pier Head the Three Graces of Liver Pool. The Pier Head is located at the riverside in the city center of Liverpool, England. The Three Graces refer to three buildings.

See luminous Scottish lochs, rest in remarkable gardens in which the most attractive place Hyde Park ,which is one of the largest parks in Central London. Sites of attention in the park comprise Speakers’ Corner (located in the northeast area near Marble Arch), close to the previous place of the Tyburn gallows, and Rotten Row, which is the northern border of the site of the Crystal Palace. South of the Serpentine is the Diana, Princess of Wales monument, an elliptical stone ring spout opened on 6 July 2004. Another memorial in the park commemorates the victims of 7/7 rebel attacks, in the form of 52 steel pillars—one for each of the dead.

Relax on the beaches of the South Coast. Britain diverse landscape will surprise and amuse you. The legend of Jane Austen’s Bath or an indolent day spent sizing up monument at Tate Modern or the Scottish National Gallery. In my Opinion, in Britain you will discover a cultural combination that is hard to beat.
