Today, visitors come mainly for the crown jewels. There are said to be more than 25,000 of them and their value is estimated at 20 trillion pounds.
Canterbury Cathedral impresses not only because of its size. After all, it is 160 meters long, its tower 72 meters high. Inside it conceals medieval stained glass windows, a filigree vaulted ceiling and bells up to 700 years old.
England enchants its guests with a multitude of castles and palaces. Dover Castle once guarded the English Channel, Arundel Castle is still one of the best-preserved medieval castles, Elizabeth I was briefly imprisoned in Leeds Castle, Warwick Castle impresses with its magnificent halls and St. Michael’s Mount with its unique island location.
