After finishing my language school course, I decided to travel a bit and see the homeland of Shakespeare and Harry Potter.
My first destination was Blackburn, Lancashire. When I arrived, I didn't find anything interesting... Absolutely nothing! :)
I remembered a scene from the famous cartoon "Yellow Submarine". Upon ending up in nowhere, a place with holes, John Lennon said: "It reminds me of a place called Blackburn, Lancashire." He was right!
Speaking of them...
Fans of the legendary band The Beatles should definitely visit Liverpool to see The Beatles Story museum. You can play the drums with Ringo Starr and walk around that very yellow submarine! :)
Liverpool is a port on the northwest coast of England, at the mouth of the River Mersey. A beautiful city!
Next was Chester in the county of Cheshire. The history of Chester dates back about two millennia to the era of the Roman occupation of Britain. Chester is a very beautiful, historic city. It is surrounded by a Wall built by the Romans many centuries ago. And these Walls are now used as walking paths for the city's residents. There are many attractions in Chester: Chester Cathedral, the Walls, but the most impressive one to me was the main street. You can really feel the old England here!
I managed to visit Stokesay Castle, which was built in the 13th century. Walking through this castle, it's very easy to imagine life and everyday existence in medieval England. A fairy-tale place!
