9 Outstanding British landmarks to Visit

Britain is blasting at the seams with delightful structures saturated with history, spots of
remarkable natural beauty, and striking ultra-modern structures. Look at 9 must-see British
landmarks that everybody should visit.

Hadrian’s Wall, Cumbria, Northumberland and Tyne and Wear, England


Built by the Romans in AD 122 to keep the 'brutes' out under the orders of Emperor Hadrian,
this strong stone wall once extended almost 80 miles (128km) across the nation in the north of
England. It took three armies of men at least six years to finish. Presently part of a 150-mile
(241km) UNESCO World Heritage Site, it's the nation's generally breathtaking and significant
Roman landmark. It's not simply a wall, however – different fortresses, mile castles, military
enclosure, and bulwarks with museums can be found along with it.

White Cliffs of Dover, Kent, England


The startlingly white chalk-confronted mountains on the Kentish coast are ostensibly Britain's
most notorious natural feature. Known as the entryway to Britain, they were the main sight of
home for troops returning over the English Channel from the World Wars and have become a
symbol of expectation. Secured by the National Trust, there are some remarkable strolls along
the ravishing coastline including one to the Victorian South Foreland Lighthouse. Pop inside for
a visit and for clearing views across to France.

Tower Bridge, London, England


The fantasy turrets on the bridge that extends from the Tower of London to the Shad Thames
on the South Bank have made it one of London's most obvious structures. Made in the last part
of the 1800s, it's available to both vehicles and pedestrians. There's likewise an exhibition hall
in the towers and you can visit the Victorian motor rooms just as admire the perspectives from
its significant level walkways that incorporate a spine-tingling glass segment.

Ben Nevis, Scottish Highlands, Scotland


The loftiest top in the entirety of the British Isles, transcending an amazing 4,411 feet (1,345m),
is the most popular of the entirety of Scotland's magnificent Munros. Once an active volcano
that detonated and fell into itself a huge number of years prior, Ben Nevis is set in the
northwest Highlands, close to the town of Fort William. The scene here is inconceivably
impressive with various strolling trails up or around the huge mountain that leads past pleasant
lochs and icy valleys.

Tate Modern, London, England


The previous 1950s Bankside Power Station on a once scruffy stretch of the Thames is presently
one of the most appreciated buildings in London and an elite modern art exhibition. The huge
modern space was put to great use by architects Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron, who
won a competition to design the new Tate Gallery in Giles Gilbert Scott's unique structure. The
Turbine Hall, a tremendous exhibition space that hosts large-scale models and establishments,
is particularly remarkable.

Caernarfon Castle, Gwynedd, Wales


With excessive historical castles to select between, Caernarfon castle is generally cited as one
of Wale’s most effective and has a UNESCO World Heritage Site status. Made under the orders
of Edward I in the 1200s, the mighty medieval fortress perched at the end of the Menai Strait
and is especially famous for its weighty walls and amazing polygonal towers.

The Guardian, Birmingham, England


More usually known as the bronze bull, this six-tonne sculpture by Laurence Broderick has
become a more-loved notable sight in Birmingham. Located in front of the new Bullring
Shopping Centre in 2003, it is double the size of an actual bull and was planned to capture the
bullish spirit of this Midlands city.

Sherwood Forest, Nottinghamshire, England


The incredible home of one of Britain's favorite legends heroes, Robin Hood, the old royal
hunting ground is apparently the UK's most popular forest. It's more modest than it used to be,
however, it's as yet a heavenly spot to lose yourself on a walk around the old oak trees. Try not
to miss the Major Oak – a colossal age-old tree that is supposed to be the place where the
famous outlaw and his merry men hid out.

The Fourth Plinth, London, England


In each side of Trafalgar Square is a plinth: three have sculptures of adorned military officials –
Henry Havelock, Charles James Napier, and King George IV – while the fourth, expected for a
sculpture of William IV, remained void for a long time as the administration ran out of cash.
Prompt the Royal Society of Arts, who dispatched the Fourth Plinth Project during the 1990s.
