Online excursion

The city of London is just a small part of modern day London. The city as we know it constitutes the ancient city that was established nearly 2000 years ago.

Look on the right side and you will see the standing guard over the city of London since 1066 and the succesful invasion of  William the Conqueror, the tower of London stands as a powerful reminder  of it's turbulent past as a fortress and a state prison.  
Today the tower of London is a wonderful attraction housing royal armour, the Crown Jewels and home to the Tower Ravens. 
Legend say that should the ravens leave the tower, the country will fall.
 The london knows how rich it culture is  and combines Ancient and modern.

And Now we can see London eye which is the tallest observation wheel in the world.
 A single rotation takes 30 minutes. 7 years and hundreds of labours were required to make  a london eye a reality.

So, lets's teleport to Scotland

Many of Scottish items as kilts, tartans and backpipes were actually developed not in Scotland. Kilts appeared in Ireland, tartans have been found in central Europe and backpipes came from ancient Central Asia. 

Let me attend you to this scotland flag! It is a white x-shaped cross of the patron  of Scotland, St. Andrew on a blue field.

Here we are! The most expessive part of our trip! Falkirk wheel which is the only rotating boat lift in the world!

Talking about strange things in Scotland I also want to mention 1.7 mile trip by the PLANE! It is the shortest sceluded flight in the world from Westray to Papa Westray in the Orkney islands.

Let's move to south and here is Wales - a tiny but great country.  Wales is an incredibly interesting country with rich heritage, colorful traditions and travel destinations that make both kids and adults dream of visiting this part of the United Kingdom.

Let's start with Walesh flag which is consist of a red dragon passant on a green and white field. It is the oldest national flag and it was used by many ancient celtic leaders.

Furthermore, Wales offers stunning landscapes that simply take your breath away. There are castles everywhere! There are 600 castles in the whole Whales.

Another interesting thing is a village that's famous for having the longest name of it's railstation which is consist of 58 letters and holds the guiness book record.

According to legend, on the eve of the battle against the saxons, St.David advised the britons to wear leeks in their caps to save a victory. That became a tradition.
