ОЗУ - Hello, everybody! Have you ever dreamt of travelling around the uk? Have you ever thought of how to get there, where to go, and where to stay? 

What 5 places would you visit if you had a chance to choose? 

1. Проведение основной части мероприятия  

We have our own version. But to be able to visit anything we should get to the country first. The easiest and the most obvious means of transport is the plane, of course. You may wonder how much the ticket costs. You'll be surprised to hear but you may buy it only for 5.700 rubles. That's nothing)) if there's no ticket to London, you can fly to Paris and there it's possible to rent a car or get on a train to London. 

Well, now we know how to get to the UK? But what are the means of transport inside the country? In London the most popular is the tube. A return ticket costs 400 rubles that's why you'd better buy a season ticket ot an oyster card. 

Cabs, of course, the cab is a legend associated with London. But you should take into account that the lowest price for a ride is 500 rubles. So, the cab may be considered to be a sideshow. Then the bicycled, perhaps, is the cheapest means of travelling around the city. You pay 1 pound and the bicycle is yours for the next 24 hours. 

Around the country you may travel on trains, electric trains. But to be honest the prices are rather high. To travel by bus is much cheaper. There' s a wonderful offer for travellers aged from 16 to 26 called "the coachcard", that costs 10 pound and gives access to a 30% discount to all the buses of the national express bus company. More than that there's a card called a brit explorer card that proves to be an unlimited season ticket for any bus. Only foreigners can buy it. But if you can`t stand being surrounded by anyone you can just rent a car it's not that expensive but buying the petrol is expensive.  

Being in Britain you should always be in touch. Thanks god there are several mobile providers. The Vodafone, the orange, the t-mobile. A sim card costs from 8-10 pounds   

The next question to discuss is the question of accommodation. I'm sure you are aware of the fact that the cheapest places to live are hostels. I wanted to find out the price. Well in the hostel called the London eye you may spend a night for 11-28 pounds. In my opinion the price is quite reasonable for the center of London.

That’s enough of practical advice. Let’s return to our version of the route.

To be honest we’ve made up our mind not to speak about widely known places, we’d better speak about something completely new.

The first place of interest we’d like to tell you about is Edinburgh. What’s Edinburgh remarkable for?

Edinburgh Castle is a historic fortress which dominates the skyline of the city of Edinburgh, Scotland from its position on the Castle Rock. Archaeologists have established human occupation of the rock since at least the Iron Age (2nd century AD), although the nature of the early settlement is unclear. 

Edinburgh Castle is a world famous icon of Scotland and part of the Old and New Towns of Edinburgh’s World Heritage Site.

It was recently voted top UK Heritage Attraction in the British Travel Awards and is Scotland’s number one paid-for tourist attraction.

This most famous of Scottish castles has a complex building history. The oldest part, St Margaret's Chapel, dates from the 12th century; the Great Hall was erected by James IV around 1510; the Half Moon Battery by the Regent Morton in the late 16th century; and the Scottish National War Memorial after the First World War

If you happen to be in Edinburgh in August you’ll be lucky. Because it’s the very time when The Fringe Festival is held.
The Edinburgh Festival Fringe (The Fringe) is the world's largest arts festival. The Fringe is a showcase for the performing arts, with show categories including Cabaret, Children’s shows, Comedy, Dance, Physical Theatre & Circus, Events, Exhibitions, Music, Musicals and Opera, Spoken Word and Theatre.

The Fringe is an unjuried festival – with no selection committee, and therefore any type of performance may participate. The Fringe has often showcased experimental works that might not be invited to a more conservative arts festival. In addition to ticketed, programmed events, the Festival has included astreet fair, located primarily on the Royal Mile. The Festival is supported by the Festival Fringe Society, which publishes the programme, sells tickets from a central box office, and offers advice to performers. Their offices are on the Royal Mile.

But if you are not that lucky, well, visit at least the People’s Story Museum. The People’s Story explores the lives of Edinburgh’s ordinary people at work and play from the late 18th century to today. Visitors can see displays showing a bookbinder’s workshop, a wartime kitchen and much more, all packed with real objects. You can even see a former jail, an original part of this historic building.

The next place of interest we’d like you to know about is Somersetshire. Somersetshire is a beautiful and varied county in the West of England.

You may visit Britain’s biggest gorge, take in the dramatic cliffs rising up 450ft and explore the stunning stalactite caverns below there. Created by Ice age melt-waters over millions of years, this world famous beauty spot is not only a National Nature Reserve but also a famous site of prehistoric discoveries.

There are seven great attractions to discover, including the spectacular Gough’s Cave. Explore the hidden chambers and meet Cheddar Man who once lived here. Duck into secret caves, see the ancient elders' meeting chamber and gasp at the incredible vistas created by stalagmites and stalactites. You'll be astounded by the soaring chambers of St Paul's Cathedral and the towering spires of Solomon's Temple. Audio guides bring the cave to life (there's a special version for kids) telling the fascinating story of its Ice Age creation, Stone Age occupation and Victorian exploration.

Also, being in Somersetshire you can’t but visit Glastonbury Tor.

This iconic landmark offers magnificent views of the Somerset Levels, Dorset, Wiltshire and Wales.

Steeped in history and legend, excavations at the top of the Tor have revealed the plans of two superimposed churches of St Michael, of which only a 15th-century tower remains.

Glastonbury Tor also has a grisly past. Abbot Richard Whiting was executed here in 1549 on the orders of Thomas Cromwell, the first Earl of Essex.

Glastonbury Tor is known as being one of the most spiritual sites in the country. Its pagan beliefs are still very much celebrated. It’s a beautiful place to walk, unwind and relax.

Being in the south of Britain to visit to Beachy head is a must. It’s simply remarkable for its amazing view. But be careful. It’s notorious for being a suicide spot. There are an estimated 20 deaths by suicide a year at Beachy Head.The Beachy Head Chaplaincy Team conducts regular day and evening patrols of the area in attempts to locate and stop potential jumpers. Workers at the pub and taxi drivers are also on the look-out for people contemplating suicide, and there are posted signs with the telephone number of the Samaritans urging potential jumpers to call them.

Deaths at the site are well-covered by the media. Ross Hardy, the founder of the chaplaincy team, said this encouraged people to come and jump off. Don’t jump, my dear fellows!

There are many things that make us feel grains in this world. One of them is The Giant’s Causeway.

For centuries countless visitors have marvelled at the majesty and mystery of the Giants Causeway. At the heart of one of Europe's most magnificent coastlines its unique rock formations have, for millions of years, stood as a natural rampart against the unbridled ferocity of Atlantic storms. The rugged symmetry of the columns never fails to intrigue. For centuries the Giant’s Causeway has inspired artists, stirred scientific debate and captured the imagination of all who see it. The natives have their own story.

The Causeway story tells us that Finn lived happily on the Antrim coast with his wife Oonagh until he discovered he had a rival in Scotland known as Benandonner.   Finn was frequently taunted by Benandonner from afar and on one occasion Finn scooped up a clod of earth and hurled it across the sea at him but missed.  The huge clod of earth landed in the middle of the Irish Sea making the Isle of Man and the depression formed from scooping up the earth filled up with water to become Lough Neagh.

Finn finally challenged Benandonner to a proper fight and decided to build a causeway of enormous stepping stones across the sea to Scotland, so that he could walk across without getting his feet wet. But as he approached and caught sight of the great bulk of Benandonner, Finn became afraid and fled back home, with Benandonner hot on his trail. In his haste as he ran, Finn lost one of his great boots and today it can be seen sitting on the foreshore in Port Noffer where it fell to the ground.

The story takes a humorous twist when Finn asks his wife Oonagh to help him hide. Clever Oonagh disguised Finn as a baby and pushed him into a huge cradle, so when Benandonner saw the size of the sleeping ‘child’, he assumed the father must be GIGANTIC. Benandonner fled home in terror, ripping up the Causeway as he went in case he was followed.

The story concludes that this is the reason that the Giant’s Causeway exists in north Antrim, with similar columns at Fingal’s Cave on the Scottish island of Staffa.

And last but not least is the next attraction. London. But we won’t speak of it. You’d better see it by yourselves. (Показ 3-минутной видеозаписи про Лондон).
