Our last trip to the UK. It was a very nice time. We met many kind people, we saw beautiful corgi and we could touch the true history of this beautiful country. We visited Windsor – a city in Berkshire, England. Is part of unitary authority Windsor and Maidenhead.

It is famous for the castle located there, which is the main seat of the dynasty currently in Great Britain, which – resigning in 1917 from its original German name – took new from the name of this place.
The next place we saw was Stonehenge. One of the most famous European megalithic buildings, dating from the Neolithic and Bronze Age. This Kromlech is located 13 km from the city of Salisbury in County Wiltshire in southern England. He was probably associated with the cult of the Moon and Sun. The moon could symbolize a woman here (taking into account her menstruation), the sun – a man. It consists of earth embankments surrounding a large set of standing stones. The building has been on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 1986 together with Avebury and other Neolithic sites nearby. Stonehenge has had the status of Scheduled Ancient Monument since 1882. Stonehenge is owned by the British Crown and managed by English Heritage.

The name comes from the Old English language, from the words stān – stone and hencg – surround (hinge) or hen (c) en (gallows). From the word henge arose the word henges – circles – which are now called these types of objects.

And for dessert, we visited the Roman baths in Bath. A city in England, in the county of Somerset, located 159 km west of London and 21 km from Bristol. The city is located in the valley of the Avon River, in a place where there were natural geothermal waters. Roman colonizers built a bathhouse and temple here and named it Aqua Sulis. In 973, Bath was crowned King of England Edgar. In Georgian times, the city became a popular holiday center. Many period-style buildings come from this period.

Bath became a World Heritage Site in 1987. It is now a cultural, university and tourist center with approximately 3,800,000 visitors annually.
Traveling to the UK, we always sail from Dunkirk to Dover using the services of DFDS, the world’s leading ferry operator. DFDS offers many ferry routes from popular European ports on the mainland to the United Kingdom, as well as routes in Scandinavia and across the Baltic.
