The United Kingdom is a feast for travellers who love history. From Jurassic fossils all the way up to modern times, the UK has it all: UNESCO World Heritage Sites, internationally -famous museums, castles, cathedrals, and even landmarks from Roman times.
 
There are many ways to enjoy the historical wealth of the Land of the Rose. However, if you want to do it in style, follow our luxury UK accommodation guide that has been especially made for history lovers.

The Adventure Begins

Get ready for a unique blend of medieval fortresses, converted churches, and stately buildings, that don’t just have historical significance, but also offer 5-star accommodation.

The Radio Tower

Located looking over the stunning Corbière Lighthouse on the island of Jersey. The Radio Tower is a treat for WWII enthusiasts and unique accommodation lovers. The building, which sits at the edge of a cliff, was built by the Nazi’s when they occupied the island during the war. The concrete bunker-like tower has much more interior comfort than it appears from the outside. It has space for up to six self-catered guests to enjoy the dramatic ocean views from the windows.   

Jurassic Coast

The Jurassic Coast is a perfect combination of palaeontologic relics and beautiful British nature. The 95-mile-long UNESCO World Heritage Site located between Studland Bay and Exmouth, which has featured in countless movies and TV shows, has geological formations dating back 185 million years. Better still, there are numerous luxury cottages and historical buildings with sea views, that you can use as your base before going out fossil hunting.

Hadrian’s Wall

Not many buildings have gardens that back onto walls built during Roman times. Yet, on the border between England and Scotland, you can find just that. Built by the Roman Emperor during the 2nd century, the 80-mile-long Hadrian’s Wall marked the edge of the Roman empire. Today you’ll find luxury accommodation along the wall, like the holiday home Carraw.
 
The Northumberland National Park, which encompasses much of the area around the wall, is a very rural part of England. Therefore, using the best eSIM for the UK will help you to keep in touch with your friends and relatives back home.

Temple of Diana

If you want to spend a few days living like an 18th-century English nobleman or woman, you should try the Temple of Diana in Shropshire. The Temple sits in Weston Park, which was designed by world-famous landscape designer Capability Brown. The building accommodates six guests, and a seven-night stay will cost over GBP 1,600. There’s no such thing as cheap luxury. 

St. Curig’s Church

The 19th-century St. Curig’s Church is located in a mountain village right at the doorstep of Snowdonia National Park. The church’s interior is just as impressive as the surrounding landscapes. The building, which has space for up to 16 guests, is adorned with a mosaic ceiling, and four poster beds in unusual places like a stone pulpit.

Lendal Tower

You’ll stumble upon historical landmarks on pretty much every corner in York. Still, few accommodation places are quite like the Lendal Tower, a 14-century fortification next to the River Ouse. The luxurious interior of the 5-Star Gold Award rated accommodation is paired with stunning riverside views and a panoramic view of the city from the top of the tower.
