EXPERIENCE STONEHENGE

Visit one of the most impressive wonders of the world. See the story of Stonehenge and our prehistoric ancestors brought to life through the world-class visitor centre.

HADRIAN'S WALL

Discover Roman life along Hadrian's Wall, an epic World Heritage Site marching 73 miles across some of the wildest and most dramatic country in England.

DOVER CASTLE

The most iconic of all English fortresses commanding the gateway to the realm for nine centuries. Climb the Great Tower, meet the characters and immerse yourself in vivid medieval interiors.

ELTHAM PALACE & GARDENS

Experience the decade of decadence at Eltham Palace as you are transported back to the 1930s (just in time for cocktail hour!). Created for millionaires Stephen and Virginia Courtauld, Eltham Palace is part showpiece of Art Deco design and 1930s cutting-edge technology, and part medieval royal palace.

TINTAGEL CASTLE

Immerse yourself in history, myths and stunning scenery at Tintagel Castle, set high on Cornwall's rugged north coast between Padstow and Bude. Inextricably linked with the legend of King Arthur, for centuries this dramatic castle and coastline has fired the imaginations of writers, artists and even the brother of a king.

Clifford's Tower

Today, a new roof deck gives unrivalled views over York's historic skyline, with its medieval buildings and famous Minster. Inside, new walkways and staircases have opened up parts of the tower that have been off-limits for centuries, and immersive soundscapes and stories are bringing the tower’s turbulent history to life like never before.
