England, the largest country of the United Kingdom, provides a great place for tourists, being the perfect location for anyone to just go there and get lost in a historical and cultural vast territory. There are numerous attractions, ranging from modern monuments to ancient palaces and iconic castles. Whichever the location you are about to choose, you are going to fully enjoy centuries of history, traditions and architectures. Modern districts, such as York, Dumbarton, Dover or Dorchester, are the image of an old era, explaining the territorial establishments of Anglo-Saxons conquerors; and thanks to them, we, the modern tourists, are able to enjoy such areas with churches, cathedrals, castles and other historic buildings, which make England a truly unique destination. The most popular attractions among the famous castles of England, for any tourist, are Canterbury Cathedral, Windsor Castle and Buckingham Palace. Alternatively, you can opt for packages including English castles tours, blended with visits to the Hyde Park or Lake District. As well, you can book a tour to visit its shores and forests, or even head on into the wild vegetation. As well, shopping is a successful activity, as London is one of the European capitals meeting even the most demanding requests. However, we should return to its stamp-icons, the magnificent, truly famous castles of England. Today, many tourists include a superficial tour at one or maybe two castles, but you should give them more attention, as they are the most attractive and impressive locations you could ever visit. The first among the famous castles of England, Windsor Castle, is a phenomenal architecture, being the largest stronghold building in the entire world. It is still hosting the royal family and it was built in the monarchy days of the great conqueror, William. The operators organize daily tours. Knole is a unique among the famous castles of England, featuring 7 interior courts, over 360 rooms and 52 staircases. Respecting a Tudor theme, it is a representative castle, being the best example of England history. Tourists are able to enjoy daily tours, which include rooms, courts, gardens and surroundings. Another wonderful castle, Hatfield House, has a fascinating story stating that it was the place, where Elisabeth I lived, played and learned, and later became Queen of England. This is a truly irresistible castle, with perfectly maintained courts and gardens, featuring valuable masterpieces inside. Next, Hever Castle and Gardens, is one of the most favorite and famous castles of England history, being the home of Anne Boleyn. This famous building has been purchased and then restored and, these days, it still keeps its value, reviving the old-days ambiance. Then, Woburn Abbey, is a castle featuring a huge collection of animals, named Wild Animal Kingdom. In this famous castle of England, Queen Victoria lived and died; a thing that is repeatedly remembered, as every tour includes a view of her chambers. The last one, Thornbury is a true wonder, a stronghold building transformed from a historical location to an England exquisite hotel, featuring a unique Tudor work of art. Five hundreds years of history are magnificent combined with the modern luxury, and the results are just stunning. Its guests are walking on the same corridors, used hundreds of years ago, by kings and queens. Whether you wish to spend a night in one of the famous castles of England or castle hotels, or you are just enjoying a tour, make sure that you visit at least those above-mentioned castles. There are many others, as well stunning locations, but I am afraid that the time is just too short and does not allow us to talk about them. For sure, the English castles are one of the most exciting tourist attractions within the Europe, and any travel agency is going to be more than happy to help you in planning such a wonderful vacation, combining it with great accommodation, sightseeing and many other activities.
