Interesting Places in the UK
- No one knows what the purpose behind Stonehenge is, but the ancient series of rock formations is rumored to be temples, a place for astronomical observation or a burial place for high-ranking citizens. The large structures may not seem as impressive from a distance, but wait until you get out of the car and stand right in front of them.
- The Roman Baths are considered one of the world's original "spas." Built by early Roman civilizations, the Roman Baths were a place people came to relax, revive their bodies and heal. Rumor said that if you drank the water you could be cured of any disease.

- Even if you found Shakespeare's works boring in school, you will enjoy taking a tour of the playwright's birthplace. The low ceilings will make you feel like a giant as you learn about life in the Elizabethan era.
