Quick Summary: A trip to the United Kingdom has to include iconic destinations like Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, and Canterbury Cathedral, but there is much more to see and do here. From castles to gardens to museums, visitors will be impressed by the cultural offerings. Astonishing Scottish engineering is on display at the Falkirk Wheel and the Kelpies of Helix Park. Stonehenge is an awe-inspiring 4,500-year-old tribute to neolithic life. Its opposite, the Eden Project, explores how humans can work toward a more sustainable future. The London Eye, a giant Ferris wheel on the banks of the Thames, offers 360-degree views of London and beyond. These 25 must-do activities should be on every UK traveler’s bucket list.
