2. Warwick Castle

There has been a fortress on this site since 914 when Danish invaders erected one to defend the town of Warwick against attack. The castle was later developed by William the Conqueror in 1068. It was still being used by British nobility right up to 1978 when it was then opened to the public as a museum and attraction. Today, you can explore the dungeons which date back to the 1300s or watch jousting re-enactments or breath-taking aerial displays by birds of prey.

3. Thames River

London’s long and tumultuous history is written upon the face of the city, and the River Thames has watched it all. A 19th-century Member of Parliament, John Burns, said it best: “The Mississippi is muddy water, but the Thames is liquid history.” In modern-day London, history comes to life on the 70 wharves, which have remained in operation after centuries. As you make your way down the river’s dark waters, you will enjoy a unique snapshot of life in this dynamic but resolutely historical city.
