1.Windsor Castle - The World\'s Biggest House William the Conqueror picked the site for Windsor Castle. It has been a royal residence and fortress nearly 950 years and during that time, it certainly has spread. The house covers 13 acres, making it the biggest inhabited castle in the world. It\'s also one of the most familiar. Fly into London via Heathrow and it will be one of the first recognizably British things you\'ll see. Fans of equestrian events regularly enjoy the festive Royal Windsor Horse Show, open to the public in May. Of course, it\'s not the only castle in the UK. They\'re all over the place; visitors are spoiled for choice. Here are some others you might want to visit: Caernarvon Castle, Carreg Cennen, Beaumaris Castle, The Castles of Wales, Porchester Castle, Rochester Castle.

Cleary a work of intelligence and purpose, Stonehenge is like a mysterious communication from the distant past - a genuine wonder. It salutes the sunrise on the summer solstice but nobody really knows what it was for and who built it. This massive icon of Britain, at least four thousand years old, draws people from around the world.

This group of ruins, gathered into a UNESCO World Heritage site, includes: Maes Howe - a complex chambered tomb The Ring of Brodgar - a circle of 60 megaliths The Standing Stones of Stenness - which amplify voices and set dowsing rods aquiver Skara Brae - a group of houses and a workshop at the edge of the sea. There are also dozens of unexcavated mounds all over the UNESCO protected area promising more revelations about early human history.

These gleaming white cliffs, visible from miles at sea, terminate a series of gently undulating chalk Downs. I\'ve chosen them among my personal selection of the UK\'s Seven Wonders because they are so beautiful and so unmistakably British. Some countries rise out of the sea from gently sloping beaches. Others have mountains that march right to the water\'s edge. But England meets the English Channel with abrupt ranges of white chalk cliffs. Nature seems to mirror at least a thousand years of prickly relations - as though England has been been snapped off Europe like a piece of rock candy. The hills behind the cliffs may seem to roll softly - but don\'t be fooled.

Visitors to Britain just like you voted York Minster one of the Seven Wonders of Britain in 2002. More than 250 years in the building, York Minster is the biggest Gothic Cathedral in Northern Europe. The stained glass window on the East Front is as big as a tennis court - the biggest expanse of medieval stained glass in the world. Of course, size isn\'t everything. York Minster is also very beautiful. Take another look at York Minster to see for yourself.

Its treasures include Egyptian mummies, objects from the Mesopotamian Kingdom of Ur, an Easter Island statue given to the museum by Queen Victoria, objects from the Sutton Hoo burial and (at least for now) the Elgin Marbles that once graced the Parthenon in
