History Experiences - give them the chance to go back in time If you're looking for a gift for a history lover, one option is to give them a day out. Visits to historic centres and historical attractions are very popular, as this year's Annual Survey of Visits to Visitor Attractions from Visit England shows. As you might expect, visits to historical attactions come top of the list, with the Tower of London leading the way, and St Paul's Cathedral coming a close second. But there's lots of history to explore in the UK - it's one of the things I love about it, and it really is a history lovers dream! |
