If you’re thinking about visiting the UK for a holiday then here are a few of the best places you can visit:
Harrods, Knightsbridge
This is among the largest departmental stores in the world. There is more than a million sq. ft. of retail space for you to cover with more than 330 stores. It can hold as many as 300,000 visitors at a single time. The food hall at Harrods is world famous and offers gourmet food and delicacies from all over the world. One more good reason to visit is the huge discounts they offer twice a year on prestige items.
Hampton Court Palace
Among the former bosses of this palace are names like Henry VIII, Elizabeth I and Cardinal Wolsey. This beautiful palace was developed from humble beginnings during the 11th century to one of the biggest palaces worldwide. Visitors are usually given introductory exhibitions, costume guided tours and even a chance to check out the Queen’s and King’s state apartments. Another majestic sight here is the Great Hall which has some lavish tapestries.
Beatrix Potter Gallery
Some of the most beautiful illustrations by Beatrix Potter came from the market town of Hawkshead. Beatrix also has a house in the area which is now an exhibition hall with all her original water colours and sketches.
The Blue Pool
This is a rare attraction and is located at the Isle of Purbeck. Gorse, heaters, and trees enclose the pool which changes colour regularly from turquoise to green.
Stanley Park
It is quite appealing and also has a 26-acre lake which is semi-enclosed by the woodlands. This is certainly an ideal place for a quiet romantic cruise by rowing, pedal boat, or motor-boat.
At the end of the day, traveling to the UK can be quite an exciting experience but only when you do it right. There is no point in visiting the UK, staying in your hotel room and then going back home. It’s the biggest waste of a holiday imaginable. So, whenever you are planning a trip to the UK, make sure you include the above-mentioned places. They will change the way you think of the country for sure.
Planning is very important and booking tickets are even more when you are traveling.
