Leeds castle It’s really worth visiting. We came with the group. There is an English explanation. There are many collections of the British royal family. The interior decoration is really luxurious and court style. The furniture oil paintings are the top. There are also oil paintings by Henry VIII. The fireplace feels very retro.

As soon as I laid eyes on Windsor Castle, I knew I was in for a royal treat! 👑 This magnificent fortress has been the home of British monarchs for nearly a millennium, and let me tell you, it oozes history from every nook and cranny. From the moment I stepped through the iconic Henry VIII Gate, I was transported to a world of regal splendor. The State Apartments were a true feast for the eyes, with their ornate ceilings, priceless artworks, and lavish furnishings. I half-expected Queen Elizabeth herself to emerge from one of the rooms! 🤴👸But the real showstopper was St. George's Chapel. This breathtaking Gothic masterpiece left me utterly awestruck with its soaring arches, intricate stone carvings, and the final resting places of numerous kings and queens. Talk about a royal sendoff! 💀👻And let's not forget the legendary Changing of the Guard ceremony. Watching those stoic guards marching in perfect synchronization while sporting those iconic bearskin hats was a sight to behold. 🐻 I felt like a kid again, gawking in wonder at the sheer pageantry of it all.Windsor Castle is an absolute must-visit for anyone who wants to experience the grandeur of British royalty firsthand. Just be sure to pack your crown and scepter! 👑⚜️

Located in Medway, Kent, England, Rochester Castle is a well-preserved square Norman building 113 feet tall, about 70 feet square, and 12 feet thick in walls. The castle was originally built by the Romans in Britain to facilitate the protection of troops on the way from Dover to London. In 1087, Bishop Gundulf used the remaining original Roman walls to build the castle we can see today, which is very historical. Although the castle was under siege three times during the war and partially demolished by King John in 1215, the castle that remains today can still give a shocking feeling. Now it is managed by the government and is open to visitors free of charge as a historical monument.

Must come to the beautiful oil painting town Canterbury||| in the mountains, in the stars, in the sun, in the light, I stood on the opposite bank and watched you for a long time - around London | It is worth an hour by train to the romantic town of Canterbury. (Canterbury) Very beautiful, promised me that I must come. I accidentally fell into the oil painting and I couldn’t get out. -Westgate Garden It’s best to see the weather forecast and choose a sunny day. The filming rate is super high. It’s a painting. I took pictures and colored with the original iPhone camera. Let me share the oil painting. Texture filter brightness +25 high light - 75 shadows + 20 contrast - 15 brightness + 25 natural saturation + 40 sharpness + 15 clarity +20-Canterbury The town is very beautiful and quiet. It is very pleasant to take a walk and take a boat. After taking a photo in the garden, you can go to the following places to visit Garage Coffee the award-winning cafe The Crooked House . Bookstore Canterbury Cathedral Canterbury Cathedral just go to a fish and chips to buy a piece of fish and chips to sit by the river and eat along the river. You can see the face building The Foundry This pork chop city center has a cute Japanese-style shop full of all kinds of cakes and afternoon tea. It looks very attractive. Sponge made.
