About United Kingdom
In London you can put together Tower Bridge, opened in 1894, the Houses of Parliament with the clock tower known worldwide as Big Ben, which is really the name of its great bell, St Paul's Cathedral, the London Eye and a red double-decker bus. The Natural History Museum's Hintze Hall is one of the city's most striking interiors.
Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland, is built on hills formed by ancient volcanoes. Its castle stands on Castle Rock above the Royal Mile, and Arthur's Seat rises in the park beside the city. The medieval Old Town and the elegant Georgian New Town together form a World Heritage Site.
On the coast of North Yorkshire, the ruins of Whitby Abbey stand on the East Cliff above the red roofs of the old town, the harbour and St Mary's churchyard. Bram Stoker stayed in Whitby in 1890 and set part of Dracula here.
Newer puzzles follow the Vikings to Britain: the ruined priory of Lindisfarne, where the Viking Age began with a raid in 793, York Minster in the old Viking city of Jorvik, St Magnus Cathedral and the runes of Maeshowe in Orkney, the tidal Brough of Birsay, and Jarlshof and Lerwick in Shetland.
