Throughout history of the castle, Kings and Queens of England, Great Britain and even Commonwealth realms have had a direct influence on the construction and evolution of Windsor Castle. Today Windsor Castle remains a working palace and the Queen’s official residence. Some of the finest artwork, armour and paintings in the world are in the State Apartments. Also there are masterpieces by Rembrandt, Rubens, Holbein and Van Dyck as well as magnificent French and English furniture and porcelain. Those areas which were damaged by fire in November 1992 have been beautifully restored by some finest British craftsmen.

5. Eden Project is located in a Kaolinite pit, 2km from the town of St. Blazey and 5 km from the larger town of St Austell, Cornwall, United Kingdom. Dubbed like the “Eighth wonder of the World”, the area is a dramatic global garden housed in tropical biomes nestles in a crater of 30 football pitches size.
The attraction includes the world’s largest greenhouse and is considered one of the UK’s top Landmark Millennium projects created to tell the fascinating story of man’s relationships with plants. It is a non-profit making charitable scientific organization for the 21st century with a commitment to communicate with the public through entertainment, education and involvement.
This Living Theatre of Plants and People is a vibrant reminder of our place in nature and is a living demonstration of regeneration. The team transformed a clay pit into a stunning lost world reminding us that if we propose something we can do it. A number of domes house plant species from around the world, each of one emulating a natural biome. Three domes are made out of hundreds of hexagons plus a few pentagons that interconnect the whole construction together. The first dome emulates a tropical environment, the second a warm temperate and finally the third emulates a Mediterranean environment.
