Roman Ruins Leptis Magna Ruins

Historical place

👍👍 Too big to be put in British Museum, these ex Roman city columns were brought from Libya in 1826 just like all other archaeology items in British Museum but were later moved to this site. So yes they are of authentic Roman build quality but not in their original location though. UK does have its fa...

👍👍 Really lovely place to go for a walk. Have been twice now. No car park but you can park in a private road for free and it's directly next to the entrance to the woods. Beautiful Highland cows that I've never seen before. Sadly mausoleum has been closed both times but don't mind much as it's so inter...

Reigate Castle Grounds

Historical landmark

👍👍 This place could not be any more amazing. It’s historical and giant, away from the bustle of the high street with a view for miles. The castle itself isn’t much of a castle but still shows remains to this day. Surrounding is a small lake off of London Road, an also wonderful place within the grounds...

St Leonard's Tower

Historical place

🫤 I'm not disparaging the tower by only giving it two stars. It's just that it's a very small site with not much to see or do. However the tower is sturdy and impressive. Around the back, where the tower doorway is, I met a local who was very surprised to encounter another visitor there. They aler...
