Famous Monuments in England
As already said, England is remarkable for its great history and for the famous royals who have run the country for centuries such as William the Conqueror, King Henry VIII, Queen Victoria or Queen Elizabeth II. As such, England houses thousands of stunning castles and manors, as well as wonderful churches that are definitely worth a visit.
Let’s discover together 15 of the best monuments of England! 🏰
1. Buckingham Palace
Buckingham Palace is nothing less than the residence of Queen Elizabeth II. Located in the heart of London between Trafalgar Square and Hyde Park, Buckingham Palace is one of the few royal palaces still in use today, and maybe the most famous England landmark.
Originally built in 1703 for John Sheffield, the Duke of Buckingham, the palace was purchased by King George III in 1762 to serve as his private residence. Many modifications were then made over the centuries, until the reign of Queen Victoria who decided to make it the official residence of British sovereigns in 1837.
If there’s one thing you shouldn’t miss in London, it’s the changing of the guard. It takes place every day between May and July, and then every 2 days at 11am. This daily event draws huge crowds, so come early to pick a good spot and see something!
2. Westminster Abbey
Classified as a UNESCO heritage site, the Westminster Abbey is the most famous church in London. Beautiful both inside and out, the abbey is a masterpiece of Gothic style.
Built in the 13th century under the reign of King Henry III, Westminster Abbey is a true symbol of the British monarchy because it’s here that most of the important events take place, including weddings, coronations and national funerals.
Westminster Abbey houses the burials of most of the kings and queens of England, but also monuments to the glory of great English writers (Charles Dickens, William Shakespeare), statesmen or scientists (such as Isaac Newton).
3. Palace of Westminster
Located in the heart of London close to Westminster Abbey, the Palace of Westminster is one of the most iconic British landmarks and one of the most photographed monuments in all the UK.
Built in the 11th century, the Palace of Westminster was originally the main residence of the Kings of England until 1531 when a fire destroyed part of the building. In order to limit the expenses, Henry VII renovated it slightly and moved to the Palace of Whitehall nearby. From then on, the Palace of Westminster is used as the seat of both Houses of Parliament and as a court of law.
The palace is simply gigantic as it includes 1,200 rooms, 3.5 km of corridors, 11 courtyards, 100 staircases, a 290-meter long facade overlooking the Thames and of course the Clock Tower, known as Big Ben.
4. Big Ben
Attached to the Palace of Westminster, the Big Ben is to London what the Eiffel Tower is to Paris: the symbol of the city!
This impressive 96 meter high gothic clock was completed in 1858 by Benjamin Hall. In 1923, the BBC radio transmitted for the first time the chimes of the Big Ben to announce the New Year. This practice became a tradition and even today, Londoners celebrate the new year with the sound of the Big Ben. It’s said that the sound of this 13.5 ton bell can be heard up to 6 kilometers away!
Long known as the Clock Tower, it was renamed the Elizabeth Tower in 2012 on the honor Queen Elizabeth II’s Diamond Jubilee. Unfortunately, the Big Ben is only accessible to British residents for security reasons.
5. St. Paul’s Cathedral
Located in the financial district of the City of London, St. Paul’s Cathedral is one of the oldest monuments in town along with the Tower of London. It’s also one of the most visited monuments with 2 million visitors every year.
Completed in 1710 by Christopher Wren in a style mixing classical and baroque architecture, St. Paul’s Cathedral as we know it today is in fact the fifth attempt. Indeed, the first St. Paul’s Cathedral was built in 604. Destroyed and rebuilt many times over the centuries, the fifth cathedral has finally survived and has hosted major events such as the funeral of Churchill and the wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana.
St. Paul’s Cathedral defines London’s city skyline thanks to its dome and bell towers designed to be seen from afar. Visitors can enjoy a stunning panoramic view from the dome.
6. Tower of London
Located near the Tower Bridge, the Tower of London is a massive fortress built in the early 11th century by William the Conqueror on the banks of the Thames.
Listed as a UNESCO heritage site, the Tower of London is a fortress full of history. Indeed, the monument was used for various purposes: prison, place of execution (3 queens of England died there), armory, treasury or menagerie for example.
Today, the Tower of London has become a museum where the crown jewels and the coat of arms are kept. You can also see impressive jewels, ornaments and some of the most beautiful diamonds in the world.
7. Windsor Castle
Located about 50 kilometers west of London, Windsor Castle is both the oldest royal residence and the largest occupied castle in the world.
Built in the 11th century by William the Conqueror, Windsor Castle has been home to generations of British sovereigns for 900 years. The estate where the castle stands was chosen for its proximity to a royal forest for hunting parties, but also because it provided easy access to London.
Windsor Castle is still one of the current residences of Queen Elizabeth II. The castle is used as the official royal residence when the Queen receives state visits, monarchs, politicians, presidents and public figures from around the world.
8. Hadrian’s Wall
Considered one of the most exceptional constructions in Great Britain in Roman times, the Hadrian’s Wall is located about 2h30 drive from Edinburgh.
Built in 122 AD to protect the northwestern border of the country, it extends continuously for 122 kilometers to seal the border with Scotland. Its construction required the work of thousands of men over 200 years, and long sections are still intact today, 2,000 years later.
The Hadrian’s Wall is a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987 and a famous landmark in England. Visitors can walk along the wall and visit the surrounding museums that depict Roman life at that time.
9. Alnwick Castle
Located 45min drive from Newcastle, Alnwick Castle is the second largest inhabited castle in England after Windsor and one of the best winter break destinations in England.
This castle where the 12th Duke of Northumberland currently lives was built in the 11th century, after the Norman conquest of England. Since then, it has undergone numerous restorations and modifications.
Alnwick Castle is famous for having lent its lawn for some scenes of the filming of Harry Potter. By the way, visitors can participate in an activity to learn how to fly on a broom on the lawn of the castle, like Harry.
10. The Roman Baths
Located in the UNESCO heritage city of Bath, the Roman Baths are one of the finest Roman archaeological sites in England.
Although the baths date back to the Roman period, the hot spring was known before their arrival: the Celts were already using it! The temple was built around 60-70 AD, then improved during the 300 years that followed.
The baths consist of 4 main parts: the hot spring, the Roman temple, the baths and the museum displaying archaeological objects found on site. Since the 1970s, the Roman Baths are no longer accessible for bathing. However, if you wish to enjoy the benefits of Bath’s thermal water, you can visit the Thermae Bath Spa.
11. Leeds Castle
Located in Kent about 1h20 from London, Leeds Castle is a very famous monument in England with a history of nearly 900 years and an estate of over 200 hectares.
Built in 1119 to serve as a military post during the Norman invasion, Leeds Castle became the royal residence of King Edward I in the 13th century, who made many improvements. In the 16th century, King Henry VIII transformed the castle again for his queen, Catherine of Aragon. During the 20th century, the castle underwent further modifications until its opening to the public in 1976.
If the visit of the castle makes you travel back in time, the gardens are definitely the highlight of the visit. Tourists from all over the world come to get lost in the labyrinth or to discover the aviary of the castle.
12. Warwick Castle
Warwick Castle is located in the town of Warwick, in the county of Warwickshire close to the river Avon. This English castle is one of the best known examples of the 14th-century military architecture.
The castle was built on the orders of William the Conqueror in 1068, on the ruins of an ancient Saxon fortified construction. Despite assaults, fires, reconstructions and numerous changes of ownership, this medieval fortress is still standing today.
Located on the edge of a cliff, the view from the castle and the ramparts is absolutely stunning. Warwick Castle is the perfect attraction to discover in an original and entertaining way the secrets of medieval castles and the battles that took place there.
13. York Minster
York Minster, located in the medieval city of York, is the largest Gothic cathedral in Northern Europe with an area of 5,927 square meters.
Originally, a first stone church dedicated to St. Peter was built in the 7th century on the occasion of the baptism of King Edwin of Northumbria. Destroyed over the years, the Archbishop of York, Walter de Gray, initiated in the 13th century the construction of the Gothic cathedral, which lasted about 250 years.
Today, this marvel of architecture impresses with its wonderful vaulted nave, its 15th-century organ, its beautiful stained glass windows and its tower accessible via a staircase of 275 steps. Don’t hesitate to climb it if you can, it’s one of the best things to do in York because of the wonderful panoramic view you’ll have from there.
14. Blenheim Palace
Located in Woodstock near Oxford, Blenheim Palace is a stunning manor house in the heart of the English countryside listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987.
This marvel of British Baroque architecture built in 1722 isn’t a royal residence, but a private residence. Blenheim Palace was made famous by the Duke of Marlborough, but mostly because it’s the birthplace of Winston Churchill, grandson of the 7th Duke of Marlborough and famous Prime Minister of the United Kingdom (1940-1955).
Impressive by its size, the magnificent drawing rooms and its gardens will certainly blow you away. The palace also houses a permanent exhibition dedicated to Churchill and a floor dedicated the 300-year history of the palace.
15. Whitby Abbey
Whitby Abbey is located on the northeast coast of England, in Yorkshire. Today, only the facade, a few arches and some columns tell us about the eventful story of the abbey.
Whitby Abbey was founded in 657 by King Oswiu of Northumbria and housed a community of nuns and monks. At the end of the 9th century the abbey was left abandoned and destroyed by the Viking invasion. It was rebuilt in the middle of the 11th century by the De Percy family, and then damaged again in the 16th century and by the 2 World Wars.
From the top of its green hill, protected from the North Sea by the steep cliffs, the ruins of the abbey still dominate the harbor and the small town of Whitby for more than 1,300 years.

Completed in 1894, the Tower Bridge is easily recognizable with its 2 huge gothic style towers and its blue frames. The lower walkway is tilted to allow large ships to pass. The bridge lifts have become a real show that people can see 800 times a year.

19. Brighton Palace Pier
The Brighton Palace Pier is an amusement park set on a pier that juts out into the sea in the coastal town of Brighton, in southeast England.
The 525-meter long pier was opened in 1899, during the Victorian era. The wooden Brighton Palace Pier hosts a large permanent fun fair with restaurants, bars and game rooms.
The setting, with waves as far as the eye can see and Brighton’s waterfront is very charming, and the lively atmosphere makes it a must-see on a visit to Brighton.
20. Cotswolds
The Cotswolds is a region of small historic villages in the southwest of England, stretching over several counties and covering almost 150 kilometers.
The Cotswolds is a chain of hills, a place frozen in the past: because of the relief, the train couldn’t cross the region, which has therefore remained away from the modern world and has preserved very picturesque old villages, all in old stones. Now, the Cotswolds are home to some of the most beautiful villages in England.
Visiting the Cotswolds is experiencing the English countryside: you can admire the typical cottages with their thatched roofs, visit some historical places, have tea in a cute café or a beer in one of the Cotswolds’ best pubs. Among the best Cotswold villages, we can list Chipping Camden, Bibury or Castle Combe.
21. Old Trafford
Located in the city of Manchester, Old Trafford is the 3rd largest stadium in England with a capacity of 76,000 seats, and the home of the legendary Manchester United soccer club.

Also known as “The Theatre of Dreams”, Old Trafford is now a prestigious stadium that has welcomed the world’s greatest soccer players such as David Beckham, Paul Scholes or Cristiano Ronaldo.
22. Royal Albert Dock Liverpool
Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2004, the Royal Albert Dock was one of the most important harbors for the world’s maritime trade in the 19th century and is today, the main attraction of Liverpool.
This port complex was born in the early 18th century and grew thanks to the triangular trade which involved the sale of slaves. The abolition of slavery in 1807 forced the port to shift to other activities, especially to passenger transport. After a long period of economic decline, Liverpool reinvented itself at the end of the 1990s with the rehabilitation of the docks.
The Albert Dock now houses restaurants, stores, galleries, the Slavery Museum and it has become of the most visited places in the UK.
23. Eden Project
Located in the beautiful Cornish countryside in southwest England, the Eden Project is a tropical and Mediterranean biome housed in the world’s largest greenhouses.

This environmental complex made up of 8 domes of futuristic architecture and beautiful gardens is home to nearly a million plants of various origins. Today, it is a must-see tourist attraction with more than ten million visitors since its opening.

The park as it is today was designed in the early 19th century by the British landscape architect Burton.

30. St Michael’s Mount
Located a few hundred meters from the southwestern tip of England in Cornwall, the island of St Michael’s Mount is a small rock topped by a fortress, accessible at low tide.
A Celtic monastery would have developed there from the 8th century, and the island would have become a place of pilgrimage. In the 11th century, King Edward the Confessor offered St Michael’s Mount to the Abbey of Mont-St-Michel in Normandy (France) to build a Benedictine monastery. The monastery was then dissolved by King Henry VIII following the English Reformation, then bought in 1647 by Colonel John St Aubyn, whose family still lives in the castle.

33. Dartmoor National Park
The Dartmoor National Park is located in the Devon region, bordered by the English Channel in the south and the Bristol Channel in the north.
This wide and wild park is mainly known for its tors, these hills covered with huge granite rocks that visitors love to climb.

In addition to the tors, there are waterfalls, stone quarries, sheep, ponies and pretty villages that you’ll love to discover.
Dartmoor is protected by the National Trust, but also because the largest landowner of Dartmoor is Prince Charles himself. The Duke of Cornwall owns nearly 300 kilometer squares of the park, with many farms, houses and stores. The royal family’s priority is to preserve these lands and to maintain a sustainable agriculture.
34. Lake Windermere
Both the largest natural lake in England and the name of the small town on its eastern shore, Windermere is a prime destination for summer vacations and is arguably one of the most beautiful places in the UK.
Located in the Lake District, Windermere was formed about 13,000 years ago when glacial meltwater was held back by moraine left behind by the glaciers during the Ice Age.
Surrounded by picturesque landscapes, you can enjoy the raw beauty of the hills around the shoreline by boarding one of the steamboats or taking a walk around the area.
35. Glastonbury Tor
Located 1 hour drive south from the cities of Bristol and Bath, Glastonbury Tor is a hill where a tower stands as a landmark for miles around.
The conical shape of Glastonbury Tor is natural, composed of successive layers of clay and limestone with a hard sandstone top. The tower of St. Michael that stands there is the only remnant of the 14th century church that was abandoned following the dissolution of the monasteries in 1539 and the hanging of the abbot of Glastonbury.
This hillock, classified as a historical monument, rises to 158 meters and attracts a large number of visitors, curious about the legends surrounding this place or simply coming to admire the view of the surrounding regions of Somerset and Wiltshire.
