United Kingdom Welcome to Our World Geography Wiki!

We will be talking about the United Kingdom. It was established in 1707. There are a few amazing historical monuments. For instanse, the Stone Hedge in Britain is a very important historical monument. People began building the stone hedge 5,000 years ago, dragging each stone to place. It is located in Salisbury Plain Wiltshire, UK. The age of the stone is estimated at 3100 BC. The stone is Bluestone, Sarson, and Welsh Sandstone. This place is one of a kind, and a place to go if you are visiting this country.

Windsor Castle has been a royal residence for over 900 years and today is one of the homes of Queen Elizabeth ll. This is one of the places where you will find the guards with red shirts and those big fuzzy hats that do not move no matter what you do. It is a beautiful and wonderful place to visit!

Duddingston Loch and bird sanctuary are situated to the south of Holyrood Park and the south west of Duddingston village in Edinburgh. loch means Lake so it is a bird sanctuary near a lake. The ratings on most of the travel pages have very good ratings. If your into birds this is the place to go, no promises you wont get pooped on!

The honey Fest is the first festivel of the year! Honeyfest, held in spring, is the first out-door music festival of the year. It taps into the spirit and nature of this magical season and takes place in the heart of the ancient and famous Wiltshire countryside. Honeyfest 2011 saw Damien Rice, Laura Marling and the Magic Numbers take the stage and this year we can promise you an equally brilliant line-up although it is the ethos and spirit of the event combined with the breathtaking back-drop of the English countryside that makes Honeyfest such a special festival
