The BEST Travel Spots in England 7

2012年11月4日

“THE LONDON EYE”
The largest Ferris wheel in Europe and the most popular tourist attraction in the United Kingdom, London Eye is by no means an alternative to a walking or double-decker tour around the capital. It is a compulsory part of your London experience, one that proves the city looks as magical from up high as it is on ground level. Make yourself comfortable in a transparent capsule, prepare for staggering vistas, hold your breath and up we go!

“HADRIAN’S WALL”
Built in 122 AD by the Emperor Hadrian to protect his colony in England from the advancing Pictish tribes in Scotland, the amazing wall stretches for 87 miles (140 km) across the north of England through the counties of Cumbria, Northumberland and Tyne and Wear. Although only remains of it are still visible it is one of the greatest monuments of Roman origin in northern Europe. And there is far more to Hadrian's Wall than just a wall! The best way to appreciate it, and the scenic countryside around it, is surely to walk it, following in the footsteps of the Legionnaires. Forts, temples and turrets appear all along its line so don't hesitate to let the path lead you through the unique Roman heritage.

“THE ROMAN BATHS”
If you're familiar with with any of Jane Austen's novels, you more or less know what ambiance to expect in Bath. Atmospheric squares, cobble-stoned streets, impressive facades, charming hotels and a scent of romance hovering in the air define the intoxicating quality of this once Roman city, today a World Heritage Site. Exceptionally easy to navigate on foot, Bath takes you from the magnificent Royal Crescent through fine theaters and museums to the unbelievably well-preserved Roman Baths complex, a shiny pearl in the town's imperial crown. Sadly, you are not allowed to take a bath yourself but you will surely manage to get a taste of the days gone by. 

I hope you enjoyed this week's travel experiences ~ they are EVEN BETTER when you see them first-hand ~ have a great Sunday ...
