There are lots of famous landmarks in the UK that are huge tourist attractions – from ancient monuments like Stonehenge to historical buildings like the Tower of London – however, hidden amongst these famous tourist hotspots are also lesser-known places that are quietly breaking records up and down the country! If you are off on your holidays around the UK this summer, here are some of these lesser-known quirky must-see places…
If you are heading to North Wales and staying somewhere like this luxury hotel Llandudno https://stgeorgeswales.co.uk/ over the summer, then not far away is the smallest house in Great Britain! In the pretty Conwy harbour is a small red brick cottage that is approximately 72 inches wide and 122 inches high at its tallest point. Despite being tiny, it was actually once lived in, however it is now a visitor attraction where you can step in and experience what it is like!
If you are in Devon, another popular holiday hotspot, head to the city of Exeter where you will find the UK’s narrowest street! Parliament street was built in medieval times and in some places it is just a shoulders width in diameter! Definitely not built for two people coming in opposite directions!
History lovers will adore St Mary’s Church in the picturesque village of Kemply – this little Norman era church is home to the oldest roof in the whole of Britain and features many beautiful medieval features. The best time to visit is in spring when the whole area is alive with daffodils.
