GREAT BRITAIN ATTRACTIONS
TOWER BRIDGE
About 50 bridge projects were submitted to
the commission, but due to the large
number of disputes within the
organization, it took as much as 8 years to
approve that iconic bridge design. 432
workers took part in its construction,
which also took 8 years.
Tower Bridge connects the equally popular
Tower Museum and Tower Bridge Road,
which is why it got its name.
Tower Bridge can be considered one of the
most accessible attractions in London,
which is so famous for the high cost of
entrance tickets.
Despite the huge weight and length of 61
meters, the wings rise within one minute.

STONEHENGE
Stonehenge appeared, according to
scientists, about 5000 years ago, while it
was built in several stages over 2000
years. Stonehenge consists of 82 five-ton
megaliths, 30 twenty-five-ton blocks, five
fifty-ton triliths and one six-ton altar.
The position of the cromlech stones is
closely related to the positions of the
moon and the sun — this is especially
noticeable during the winter and summer
solstices.The archaeological site is located
in the English county of Wiltshire, just
130 km from London.
To wander along the stones and even
more so to touch them will not work,
because they are behind fences. But,
within the framework of paid excursions,
such an opportunity is provided for visits
by small groups of people.
WESTMINSTER
PALACE
The Palace of Westminster is the
Parliament of Great Britain.In 1987, the

corridors, 1,100 rooms and 100 staircases.
