There are many palaces and castles in this old European country. Buckingham Palace is the most famous one. It has been the home of kings and queens for a long time. The UK has always been famous for its museums. Among them is the British Museum. You can learn a lot about the world’s culture there. The UK also has many places of natural beauty, such as the Lake District. You can see swans and other wild birds on the lakes there.
