3. Stonehenge Amesbury
Stonehenge is a prehistoric monument in Wiltshire, England, 2 miles west of Amesbury. It consists of a ring of standing stones, with each standing stone around 13 feet high, 7 feet wide and weighing around 25 tons. The stones are set within earthworks in the middle of the most dense complex of Neolithic and Bronze Age monuments in England, including several hundred burial mounds.Archaeologists believe it was constructed from 3000 BC to 2000 BC. The surrounding circular earth bank and ditch, which constitute the earliest phase of the monument, have been dated to about 3100 BC. Radiocarbon dating suggests that the first bluestones were raised between 2400 and 2200 BC, although they may have been at the site as early as 3000 BC.One of the most famous landmarks in the United Kingdom, Stoneheng...

7. Blenheim Palace Woodstock
Blenheim & Woodstock was a railway station constructed in the neoclassical style which served the town of Woodstock and Blenheim Palace in the English county of Oxfordshire. The station, as well as the line, was constructed by the Duke of Marlborough and was privately run until 1897 when it became part of the Great Western Railway. The number of trains serving the station was cut in the late 1930s, and again in 1952 down to only six trains a day. The last train ran on 27 February 1954 adorned with a wreath. The station building was initially converted into a garage and petrol station. Then the forecourt of the site was no longer used as a petrol station, but for used car sales only with a building company using some of the land behind the station. There were proposals for demolishing the b...

Spectacular Spetchley Park Gardens - Worcestershire Attractions

Spetchley Park Gardens are large and interesting gardens that can hold your interest for several hours. There is a lake with adjacent arboretum, formal gardens, numerous water features and walled gardens. The compartmentalised design of the gardens means a surprise awaits you around every corner. The Berkeley family have owned Spetchley Park for over 400 years, but I believe the gardens date mainly from the Victorian era.

On the day that I shot this video, I think the garden must have been just about at its peak. Everything seemed to be in full bloom! An amazing day.

Sandringham Castle & the Picturesque Gardens - Norfolk

The British Monarchy - Sandringham House
==================================
During the summer I visited the eastern coastal area of Norfolk. Here I visited a few places of interest in the area. Among them the Queen's winter retreat at Sandringham Castle took a special place.

The speciality of this castle is that the Queen addresses the nation from here every winter. The castle is very unique in the fact that it is wholly owned by the Queen and the antique pieces of furniture, paintings and other ornaments are all personally owned by the Royal Family. The castle showcases some fantastic paintings and pieces of furniture.

The private museum in the adjoining building also traces the Royal Family's history with some unique and rare photographs and personal items.No pictures are allowed inside the castle and in this building.
The Sandringham museum which is shown in this video is a block of buildings used formerly as horse stables and now houses a museum with the Royal Family artifacts which included their former horse carriages and vehicles.

The castle grounds are indeed very special and spectacular and it seems great care and effort have been made to make them what they are today. The Royal garden is so unique with all pastel shades of flora and amazing Landscape. This beautiful landscale really stole my heart.
Finally at the castle boundary is the church which the Royal Family visits for the Xmas services.

Sandringham is a friendly and informal place to visit with knowledgeable guides in every room ready to talk to visitors.

Sandringham House in Norfolk has been the private home of four generations of Sovereigns since 1862. The Queen and other members of the Royal Family regularly spend Christmas at Sandringham and make it their official base until February each year.

Like Balmoral, the Sandringham Estate is a commercial estate managed privately on The Queen's behalf. Sandringham House, the museum and the grounds are open to visitors
