The Place

The United Kingdom, comprising England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, is a destination on many people’s must see list. In London, see Buckingham Palace, St. Paul’s Cathedral, and Big Ben Clock Tower. See the Scottish Highlands, The Lake District, or the Mountains of Wales. Take a Fab Four Taxi Tour in Liverpool, home of The Beatles or swing by Stonehenge, Britain’s most famous prehistoric monument. Stop just about anywhere for some fish and chips and a tall pint of warm beer.
