FAMOUS PLACES
BIG BEN TOWER OF LONDON
LOCH NESSSTONEHENGE
Everyone thinks Big Ben is the name of a famous London clock, but actually
it’s the name of the big bell inside the clock tower. You can hear the bell
every hour. The clock is on a tall tower on the houses of parliament. It’s
over 150 years old, but it still works very well. There are thousands of old
British coins on the clock’s pendulum. The coins are very heavy and they
hold the pendulum in the correct position. During meetings of Parliament,
a light shines above the clock so the people of London always know about
the meetings. They can go into the visitors’ gallery and listen, too. At
night, lights illuminate the tower and it looks fantastic.
Tower of London, is a historic castle located on the north bank of the River
Thames in central London. It lies within the London Borough of Tower
Hamlets, separated from the eastern edge of the square mile of the
City of London by the open space known as Tower Hill. The Tower of
London is one of the most visited destinations in the entire world, and
no visit to the Tower would be complete without seeing a Yeoman
Warder of Her Majesty’s Royal Palace and Fortress the Tower of
London, Member of the Sovereign’s Body Guard of the Yeoman Guard
Extraordinary or, as is more commonly known: Beefeaters.
Stonehenge is a massive stone monument located on a chalky plain north of the
modern-day city of Salisbury, England. Research shows that the site has continuously
evolved. The biggest of Stonehenge’s stones, known as sarsens, are up to 9 meters tall
and weigh 25 tons on average. It is widely believed that they were brought from
Marlborough Downs, a distance of 32 kilometers to the north. Smaller stones, referred
to as “bluestones” (they have a bluish tinge when wet or freshly broken), weigh up to 4
tons and come from several different sites in western Wales, having been transported
as far as 225 km. It’s unknown how people in antiquity moved them that far.
Loch Ness is a large, deep, freshwater loch in the Scottish Highlands extending for
approximately 37 km southwest of Inverness. Loch Ness is best known for alleged
sightings of the Loch Ness Monster, also known affectionately as "Nessie". The Loch
Ness Monster is a cryptid who reputedly inhabits Loch Ness in the Scottish Highlands. It
is similar to other supposed lake monsters in Scotland and elsewhere, though its
description varies from one account to the next, with most describing it as large in size.
Evidence of its existence is anecdotal, with minimal and much-disputed photographic
material and sonar readings.
