Great Britain (UK)
Capital: London
Population: 67,886,004
Area: 94,000 square miles (240,000 km2)
Language: English
Constitution: Unitary parliamentary democracy and constitutional
monarchy
Brief Description
The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland,
commonly known as the United Kingdom (UK or U.K.) or Britain, is
a sovereign country located off the Northwestern coast of the
European mainland. The United Kingdom includes the island of
Great Britain, the Northeastern part of the island of Ireland,
and many smaller islands. Northern Ireland shares a land border
with the Republic of Ireland. The United Kingdom has sovereignty
over seventeen territories which do not form part of the United
Kingdom itself: fourteen British Overseas Territories and three
Crown dependencies.
Fun Fact
There is only a 34 kilometre (21 mile) gap between England and
France and the countries are connected by the Channel Tunnel
which opened in 1994.
Reasons to visit
Castles You can plunge into the history of England by visiting
one of its countless castles and palaces. Many of these
venerable edifices are well maintained and preserved - for
instance, Dover Castle, a medieval fortress high above the white
cliffs of Dover.
Stonehenge These standing stones are the best-known prehistoric
monument in England and a UNESCO World Heritage site. Whether
they served as a temple, observatory or burial site is unclear
to this day. The stones in the inner circle were erected in
around 2,500 BC.
Gardens In addition to innumerable large-scale landscape
gardens, England boasts many small flower gardens open to the
public. A famous example of British landscape design can be
found in the gardens at the Stourhead estate in the county of
Wiltshire in south-west England, which were opened in 1740 as an
artistic synthesis of meadows, lakes, woodlands, vantage points
and vistas.
Shakespeare You get especially close to the playwright William
Shakespeare in the the county of Warwickshire. In
Stratford-upon-Avon you can visit the house where he was born
and his schoolroom. His world-famous plays are produced
regularly all over England, including in Shakespeare's Globe, a
reconstruction of the Elizabethan Globe Theatre in London.
Points of interest
1. Big Ben - London
[attachimg=2]
Brief information
London boasts some of the best museums in the world, famous
sights and an exciting nightlife with plenty of live music. It's
an attractive mixture. The English capital is one of the
most-visited cities in Europe and attracts millions of tourists
every year.
Big Ben is the nickname for the Great Bell of the striking clock
at the north end of the Palace of Westminster in London and is
usually extended to refer to both the clock and the clock tower.
The official name of the tower in which Big Ben is located was
originally the Clock Tower; it was renamed Elizabeth Tower in
2012 to mark the Diamond Jubilee of Elizabeth II, Queen of the
United Kingdom.
2. Liverpool
[attachimg=3]
Brief information
Liverpool is a city and metropolitan borough in Merseyside,
England. Its population in 2019 was approximately
498,042.Liverpool is ranked at No. 6 on the list of the most
visited UK cities. It is noted for its culture, architecture,
and transport links. The city is closely associated with the
arts, especially music; the popularity of the Beatles, widely
regarded as the most influential music group in history.
All Beatles fans come to Liverpool if they can. The fab four's
childhood homes are still standing in the suburbs (and in Ringo
Starr's case, the inner city). You'll also find the real Penny
Lane, the Beatles Story museum, and the Cavern Club, where the
Beatles made several hundred appearances.
3. The Old Bushmills Distillery in Scotland
[attachimg=4]
Brief information
The Old Bushmills Distillery is a distillery in Bushmills,

visitors per year. The area has a long tradition with
distillation. According to one story, as far back as 1276, an
early settler called Sir Robert Savage of Ards, before defeating
the Irish in battle, fortified his troops with "a mighty drop of
acqua vitae".In 1608, a licence was granted to Sir Thomas
Phillips by King James I to distill whiskey.The Bushmills Old
Distillery Company itself was not established until 1784 by Hugh
Anderson.

Since the USA is a country consisting of 50 states, I guess it
was quite hard to choose only three points of interest! What led

other points that caught your interest?
