ISBN: 9781594643484If you love history and mystery, there is no better place to explore
than the British Isles. This fascinating program begins with a tour of a
wonder for the ages, Stonehenge. Computer graphics reveal what this
enduring puzzle looked like when it was first constructed. Nearby, see
the equally mysterious Stone Rings of Avebury, a prehistoric complex of
ceremonial sites. In London, viewers will follow a path through history
and grandeur found nowhere else on Earth. Your itinerary includes visits
to the Tower of London, London Bridge, Big Ben, the House of
Parliament, Westminster Abby, St. Paul's Cathedral and Buckingham
Palace. Navigate the Hever Castle Maze and learn about the spirits that
haunt Warwick Castle. In Scotland, you will visit lively Edinburgh at
the height of festival season. On one of Scotland's most popular walking
tours, you will come face-to-face with the odd and twisted characters
that haunt Edinburgh Castle. In Loch Ness, keep a lookout for its fabled
monster. In Ireland, learn the story behind one of the Emerald Isle's
most famous relics, the dazzling Book of Kells, a written wonder of the
world. One hundred thousand welcomes mark your arrival in Blarney, where
the Blarney Stone offers those who bend over backwards to kiss it the
"gift of gab."
