Great to visit the Tower Of London today. Joined the tour to learn about some of it's bloody history and then had a good look round ourselves! #london #england #visitengland #visitlondon #londonhistory #travel #instatravel #toweroflondon
Great to visit the SS Great Britain in Bristol yesterday. It's somewhere I've been meaning to visit for years and I'm glad we finally did, great museum with loads to see. The ship itself was designed by the famous civil engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel. Constructed in Bristol it was completed in 1845 and was considered a huge technological breakthrough, being the first ocean going iron ship to use a propeller. The museum tells of its service as a passenger ship, including taking migrants to Australia, and later as a cargo ship. And also how it was scuttled in the Falkland Islands in 1937 before finally being salvaged and returned to Bristol in 1970. #visitbristol #visitengland #history #ship #isambardkingdombrunel #historicsite #travel #instatravel #travelblogger #britishhistory
A Persian tile on display at the Asmolean Museum in Oxford. It's one of a set of 2 tiles from Iran from between 1800 and 1900 CE. They tell the tale of Yusuf and Zulaikha from the 12th Sura of the Qur'an. #history #islamicart #museum #visitoxford
Great to join a tour of the Oxford Castle and Prison today. It's got a long history, a 1000 years in fact, and our tour guide (pictured in the prison clothing in one of the photos) did a great job of explaining it. #oxford #visitoxford #visitengland #castle #history #daytrip #travelgram #instatravel
Some pics from our visit to Edinburgh's Botanical Gardens last weekend! #scotland #visitscotland #plants #flowers #gardens #visitedinburgh #travel #travelgram #instatravel
The ruins of St Anthony's Chapel in Holyrood Park, Edinburgh. We stopped there on our way down from Arthur's Seat on saturday. The chapel's origins are unknown but it is older than 1426 as there are records of a request to the then Pope for funds for it's repair. Behind the ruins is St Margaret's Loch.
