Визначні пам’ятки Великобританії. Sights of Great Britain
У Великобританії дуже багато визначних пам’яток. Це сучасні і давні пам’ятники, такі як Стоунхендж, стіна Хейдріана, замок Дорем і Собор у Йорку. У північній Англії знаходиться знаменитий район озер. У Емблсайді можна відвідати “Музей пароплавства”. Пароплав “Доллі”, якому 150 років,- найстаріший у цьому музеї. У Йорку туристів звичайно приваблює Національний залізничний музей. Він розповідає про історію винаходу паровоза Стівенсоном.
Але понад усе привертають увагу визначні пам’ятки Лондона. Серед них: Вестмінстерське абатство,
There are a lot of places of interest in Great Britain. They are both modern and ancient monuments, like Stonehenge and Hadrian Wall, Durham castle and York Cathedral. The famous Lake District is in Northern England. In Embleside one can visit the Steam Boat Museum. The oldest ship in this museum – her name is “Dolly” – is 150 years old. In York the tourists are usually attracted by the National Railway Museum. It contains the history of Stephenson’s invention of steam locomotive. But the main attraction is London places of interest.
Among them there are: Westminster Abbey, the Houses of Parliament, Buckingham Palace, St Paul’s Cathedral, London Bridge, the Tower of London. London is situated on the river Thames. Its population is more than 11 million people. The city is very old and beautiful. It was founded more than two thousand years ago. On the Houses of Parliament one can see the famous Tower Clock Big Ben, the symbol of London. Big Ben is the real bell which strikes every quarter of an hour.
Another place which you can admire is Buckingham Palace. It’s the residence of the Queen.
London is also famous for its beautiful parks. Hyde Park is the most democratic park in the world, as anyone can say anything he likes there. Regent’s Park is the home of London Zoo. I’d like to see all the sights myself.
