Great Britain has a rich and turbulent history. Today, the UK is well-known for once having the world\u2019s largest empire. But before the days of colonialism, Britain was invaded by tribes, empires and nations on countless occasions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re interested in learning about the history of the British Isles, consider exploring some of the island\u2019s most iconic historic landmarks and taking one of our day tours from London<\/a>. Here are a few recommendations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stonehenge, Wiltshire<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Stonehenge<\/a> is one of the world\u2019s best-preserved prehistoric sites. This Neolithic monument has been standing for over 4,500 years. Today, we still don\u2019t know exactly what it was used for, but theories range from a burial ground to a coronation site for Danish kings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We know that Stonehenge is the world\u2019s only remaining lintelled stone circle. This British icon and UNESCO World Heritage Site attracts over a million visitors annually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
