Two million of them, precisely.</p>

    <span style="line-height: 1.1;">Quite simply the Castle is magnificent: perched high, looming above the city on a rocky volcanic mound known as Castle Rock, is quite a sight, especially on days when streaks of clouds cling around its fortifications, adding to the deep sense of mystery and history. And what a history. Home to fortifications for almost two thousand years, the castle itself was built almost a thousand years ago, in 1103 by King David I, who established it as a royal residence and a key stronghold. During the Wars of Scottish Independence, the castle played a hugely significant role and changed hands multiple times between the Scots and the English in the late 13th and early 14th centuries. A brave and daring nighttime raid in 1314 by Thomas Randolph, Earl of Moray, has gone down in legend from the battles of this period. Its status as a principal Royal residence held strong during the Renaissance and Early Modern Period, even though it saw extended military action during 16th-century conflicts.</span>

    <span style="line-height: 1.1;">But when James VI of Scotland became James I of England in 1603, the castle’s importance in this regard began to decline, and its role changed, taking quite a turn. As it became more of a military garrison and prison, it even held notable prisoners from the Napoleonic and American Revolutionary Wars. After this grisly period, much-needed restoration began to take place in the 19th century – with the Great Hall and St. Margaret’s Chapel (the oldest building in Edinburgh) restored to former glories, and work continued throughout the 20th century. Today, Edinburgh Castle is one of the biggest tourist attractions in Europe. It also houses the Scottish Crown Jewels and the Stone of Destiny, both of which were used in the coronation of Scottish monarchs. Incredible history, and incredible structure unlike many other famous castles, it sits right in the middle of a bustling city, to be admired and enjoyed from countless locations. Here is our pick of the very best.</span>

    <span style="line-height: 1.1;">Many people ogle the castle from Princes Street (and beware the unwitting tourists backing into you as they inch and arch backwards to take a better photograph). The Vennel, however, is one of the most iconic and classic shots of the castle you can find and is a little more off the beaten track. Easy to miss, unless you are looking for it, The Vennel is a set of stairs tucked away between an ice cream shop and a jewellers. If you climb the 50 steep steps to the top, you’ll be rewarded with a breathtaking view. Locals in the know say the trick is to climb the stairs and wait until you get all the way to the top before turning around to look. If you’re making the journey back down, be sure to take in the historic Flodden Wall – built to keep out an English invasion after defeat at the battle of Flodden. As you descend, you get a beautiful view of the cobbled street and old brickwork with the castle peeking over the wall.</span>

Many of them have beautifully painted windows that stretch from floor to ceiling, framing the castle and its surroundings to perfection. And with a coffee and cake in hand, there is no need to even pick up a camera – just let your mind soak up and record what the eyes can see. Cafes in the area are a great pick especially if it’s raining and you have a good book in hand, or great company sitting opposite you.</span>

It is surrounded by burial grounds, like most churches, so, while taking in the stunning views as you peek up at the castle through the trees, it’s a place for calm reflection. An added note of interest: the churchyard is the resting place of a number of Edinburgh famous sons, including mathematician John Napier and artist Henry Raeburn.</span>

You’ll find Ross Fountain in Princes Street Gardens West – it’s a stunning feature, originally added in 1872 and recently restored. Take note of the fountain’s gloriously eye-catching colour scheme – against the castle’s moody grey tones, it boasts a vivid gold, brown and aquamarine complexion, which really pops.</span>

This sumptuous view requires a longer journey away from the Castle, but Salisbury Crags is located in Holyrood Park – one of the most peaceful city centre parks – and the walk up is not as high or as far to climb as Arthur’s Seat, though care must be taken with sharp, steep drops. The Crags can be found jutting out beneath Arthur’s Seat – and when you find the right spot and settle down to take in the panorama, the Castle will deliver all its glory. But can your camera do it justice?</span>

 <p class="font-benton text-lg text-center leading-[30px] text-gray-700 font-normal pt-5">Primrose Hill is a beautiful urban village North of London, bordered by Camden and <a href="https://sothebysrealty.co.uk/area-guides/london/st-johns-wood/" rel="noopener">St John’s Wood</a>. With its village-like feel, the beautiful neighbourhood is a perfect peaceful getaway from the hustle and bustle of the big city and offers much to explore. Its namesake is the natural hill that sits in the centre of its Grade II listed park, offering panoramic views across the capital as one of London’s six protected viewpoints. Primrose Hill itself was given its name during Elizabethan times when the once wolf-infested hillside gave way to meadows and beautiful spring flowers. The park has a rich and varied history, and like Regent’s Park, was once commandeered as part of a great chase by Henry VIII. Primrose Hill was purchased from Eton College in 1841 and became a public open space in 1842, secured under an Act of Parliament.</p>

    <span style="line-height: 1.1;">We can’t start a guide of things to do around Primrose Hill and not mention its beautiful park and namesake. One of eight Royal Parks in London, Primrose Hill Park is located in the northwestern part of Regent’s Park. The views from the summit of the hill certainly justify the climb, and at nearly 63 metres above sea level, you can enjoy unrivalled views of the London skyline. Residents and visitors alike flock to the peak to catch beautiful sunrises and sunsets, and the hill is known to be especially busy around Bonfire Night and New Year’s Eve as an ideal location to watch the fireworks across the capital. The park is also home to some significant historical and cultural landmarks, including a York stone edging with a William Blake inscription, and ‘Shakespeare’s Tree’ planted in 1864 to mark the 300th anniversary of the playwright’s birth – and later replaced in 1964. Primrose Hill Park also provides an enjoyable day out for families, with a children’s playground, outdoor gym for callisthenics, and a cosy cafe serving hot and cold drinks and snacks.</span>

    <span style="line-height: 1.1;">If all that shopping has worked up an appetite, you’re in the right place. For a small urban village, Primrose Hill has no shortage of desirable dining destinations. If you’re after a casual quick bite to eat, be sure to check out Greenberry – a bright cosy cafe with eclectic decor and a huge range of delicious dishes across its brunch and A La Carte menus. ARVO is another brilliant brunch spot, serving coffee, cocktails and all manner of delicious breakfast staples atop golden sourdough. Or, if you’re seeking a more formal dining experience, Greek restaurant Lemonia comes highly recommended with its freshly prepared Greek favourites, attracting patrons far and wide. Perhaps the best Primrose Hill has to offer is Michael Nadra, a contemporary bar and brasserie named after its founder and chef. Nadra’s delicious dishes are inspired by classical French culinary training and a range of global influences, and everything is made using fresh ingredients and prepared to order, down to the complementary artisan bread and homemade ice cream. The beautifully lit Grade II listed ‘Horse Tunnel’ at the heart of the restaurant provides an elegant space to host an intimate dinner or small private party.</span>

A favourite with locals and visitors, the pub offers a range of craft ales, wines from around the world, and a great cocktail menu. The Queen’s pub is another popular watering hole with locals and visitors throughout the year, where you can enjoy an extensive wine list and a varied selection of real ales, or a lovingly prepared cocktail or two while overlooking Primrose Hill.</span>

The answer obviously depends on where you are and what activities are available. If Bristol is the answer to the first part of that question, ‘plenty’ is the answer to the second. Whether your family lives in Bristol, or intend to just visit the city, there is so much on offer to keep the children entertained for hours, days, or even weeks.</p>

    <span style="line-height: 1.1;">The city offers entertainment for kids of all ages, both outdoors and indoors – Bristol may be brilliant but it’s still subject to the UK’s unpredictable summer weather. Within the busy city, there are world-class attractions geared towards hours of fun and amazement for the whole family, and if you want to venture a little further outside Bristol, there are places of natural beauty waiting to be explored by kids and parents alike. But it’s probably the city-based attractions that will catch the eye of any parent looking to keep their little ones, and not-so-little ones entertained in Bristol this summer. Here are just five of those, selected out of many more.</span>

    <span style="line-height: 1.1;">Recognised as the world’s first great ocean liner, the SS Great Britain is still Bristol’s Number One Tourist Attraction. The world’s largest passenger ship in the mid-19th century, Isambard Kingdom Brunel’s steamship is now sat proudly dry-docked on Bristol’s Harbourside. The first iron steamer to cross the Atlantic, SS Great Britain has been lovingly restored and provides a fascinating insight into luxury travel in Victorian times. As a museum project, it’s won countless awards – over three floors, the sections of the ship and the articles therein are totally authentic and beautifully detailed. The celebrated engineer, Kingdom Brunel, responsible for so much industrial innovation in the 19th century, is honoured in a museum section of his own. But it’s not your usual dry museum experience as staff dressed as crew get the visiting kids engaged with all aspects of life onboard. Special events are arranged for the Summer period with Sunday Roasts in the onboard restaurant and live music on the Quayside, just adding to the attraction of this historical feature at the heart of the city.</span>

    <span style="line-height: 1.1;">Also located on the Harbourside in central Bristol, We The Curious may be geared towards older kids, but it’s a scientific concept suitable for everyone. With over 200 features, many interactive, the exhibition is more like an inquisitive journey through our modern world, asking questions and giving entertaining answers. With an emphasis on collaboration, the exhibits include Morph from Bristol’s Aardman Animations helping you to create your own animation, and the opportunity to find out how it feels to walk through a tornado Plus, the current special feature, ‘Project What If’, is based on 10,000 questions gathered from the people of Bristol, the first major science exhibition based on the curiosity of an actual city. This unique attraction is topped off with an experience that can safely be described as ‘out of this world’ – the 3D Planetarium is the first of its kind in the UK where you can literally sit back and enjoy, stargazing into the Universe as the Science Team guide you through the most amazing immersive experience. A truly breathtaking finale to a visit that you’ll undoubtedly want to make again.</span>

    <span style="line-height: 1.1;">Bristol Zoo has long been a celebrated attraction on the Tourist map but the Zoo ‘Project’ takes the concept to another level. Visitors not only get to meet animals from all over the world, but they get to safely walk through many of the animals as they do their day-to-day thing. For instance, there’s the Lemur Walkthrough where the long-tailed primates roam with no barriers between visitor and animal. Perhaps more exciting still, visitors can take the Treetop Walkway through Bear Wood where bears, wolves, lynxes, and wolverines live below in beautiful, natural woodland. There’s a series of talks everyday with brilliant animal facts getting passed on. And there’s obviously feeding time for visitors as well as animals with a café and separate pizzeria. In addition to play areas where kids can burn off energy, the new Explorers Basecamp, designed with all ages, needs, and abilities in mind, features a three-storey play tower with slides, rope jungles, climbing walls, and much more, allowing kids to explore and play all day without limits.</span>

    <span style="line-height: 1.1;">Located in The Paintworks Creative Hub in the Totterdown district of Bristol, Out There Indoors is a cut above the usual kids' soft-play area. Very much for the younger children aged between 1 and 5, this is child’s play with a difference. Scandinavian-inspired, this play area has none of the usual bright colours, plastic apparatus, or bright lighting of standard play-centres. The Out There Indoors ethos is a commitment to providing a sanctuary for self-directed play and carefully curating resources that evolve with each passing season. During each 90-minute session, children can explore three climbing walls, ball-shoots, a variety of role-play resources, a dress-up area, creative play, authentic small-world resources, sensory items, and a cosy book corner. There are plenty of resources for very young toddlers too and the food and refreshments on offer are in line with the healthy outlook of the place.</span>

This family experience is a self-guided, walk-through labyrinth of exploration, encouraging visitors to discover and interact with the incredible art. The whole concept is as fascinating for parents as it is for children, who will find so much to wonder at whether they’re teenagers or toddlers. Kids are encouraged to interact, whether that’s running around the exhibits, or looking and touching the art that makes each separate space a fantastic, stimulating experience. Visitors have described it as a mixture of light show, theatre and art installation, and funfair. An escape from reality, Wake The Tiger also has a serious, educational, and environmental message behind it. And visitors tend to agree – they’ve never been anywhere like this before.</span>

 <p class="font-benton text-lg text-center leading-[30px] text-gray-700 font-normal pt-5">The prestigious Michelin Guide is a highly respected and influential collection of exceptional hotels and restaurants across the world, reviewed and rated by discerning culinary experts. The very first iteration was produced in 1900 by founders of the now world-famous Michelin tyre company, brothers Édouard, and André Michelin. Originally produced for French motorists to encourage car travel, and by extension, the demand for tyres, it included maps, locations of petrol stations, and places to eat and rest for the night. As Guide Michelin continued to grow in influence over the century, and today, inclusion in its pages and a star rating is highly sought after by fine dining establishments all over the world.</p>

  </div> 
  <div> 
   <div style="text-align: center;">
    <span style="line-height: 1.1;">While London has long been considered the epicentre of fine dining in the UK, Birmingham produces some of the highest quality food in the country. Its diverse culinary scene is a reflection of its rich history and cultural heritage, a fusion of traditional British and international cuisine with strong influences from South Asia and the Caribbean. Outside of the capital, Birmingham was the first city in the UK to boast a Michelin star and today the city and its surrounding area are home to nine Michelin star restaurants, four of which are located in the vibrant centre. Let’s take a look at what Birmingham’s impressive Michelin circuit has to offer.</span>

   <div style="text-align: center;">
    <span style="line-height: 1.1;">&nbsp;</span>
    <span style="text-align: center; background-color: transparent;">Fittingly named after its chef-patron, Adam’s Restaurant opened its doors in 2013, with husband-and-wife team, Adam and Natasha Stokes at the helm. The contemporary fine dining restaurant quickly became a favourite luxury dining destination for residents and visitors of Birmingham, and the duo relocated from their small premises in Bennett’s Hill to the grand New Oxford House on Waterloo Street in the heart of the city in 2016. The 36-cover dining room is airy and spacious, with its sharp and simple decor a subtle nod to the building’s Art Deco roots, providing a perfect backdrop for a luxurious dining experience. The food itself is like a work of art. The A La Carte and two tasting menus can change daily while fresh seasonal produce lies at the heart of each creation. Dishes like monkfish with fennel, XO sauce, and prawn, and the aged beef with truffle, alliums, and Bordeaux, are perfect examples of Stokes’ creative and carefully selected combinations. For an extra special experience, book a seat on the Chef’s Table in the kitchen environment so you can watch the talented team prepare your food.</span>

   <div style="text-align: center;">
    <span style="line-height: 1.1;">Situated in one of Birmingham's finest conservation areas, Purnell’s Restaurant on Cornwall Street is another gem in Birmingham’s luxury dining scene. Chef-patron, Glynn Purnell, was certainly no stranger to Michelin quality cooking on opening the restaurant, having been head chef at the then-fine dining destination in Edgbaston, Jessica’s, when it was awarded Birmingham’s first ever Michelin star in 2003. Purnell’s opened in 2007 and received its own Michelin star in 2009. The 46-cover restaurant features a diners-only bar and lounge areas, where guests can enjoy a pre-dinner cocktail or after-dinner coffee in plush surroundings. While the colourful and contemporary restaurant compliments the chef-patron's vibrant personality, the food also reflects his wealth of culinary experience, including time working with celebrity chefs Gordon Ramsay and Gary Rhodes, and travels and work with Michelin-starred chefs in Europe. Across a tasting menu, fresh ingredients are elevated with bold flavours from France and the Far East, with signature dishes like Creedy Carver Duck and agnolotti with smoked burrata and burnt tomato being received with great acclaim. Purnell takes great pride in colourful concoctions and flamboyant presentation to bring his creations to life.</span>

    <span style="line-height: 1.1;">Simpsons is a mainstay of Birmingham’s luxury dining scene with three decades of culinary excellence to its name. Chef-patron Andreas Antonia realised his dream by opening his own restaurant in Kenilworth in 1993. The restaurant relocated to an elegant Grade II-listed Georgian villa in Edgbaston in 2004, incorporating bright and modern decor that carefully complements and respects the building’s rich heritage. In fitting synergy, the menu offers contemporary twists on classic British cuisine, incorporating exotic flavours from around the world, demonstrated by the popular Cornish lamb dish perfectly paired with courgette and mint, or the Brixham grab elevated with sea herbs and pink grapefruit. Simpsons offers three and five course menus, a tasting menu, a plant-based menu, and Sunday lunch, with elegant twists on some of the nation’s favourite dishes. If you’ve still got room for dessert, the delicious brioche ice cream with peach and almond offers a perfect conclusion.</span>

    <span style="line-height: 1.1;">The first and only Indian Michelin-starred restaurant outside of the capital and Birmingham’s first restaurant to achieve two Michelin stars, Opheem Indian fine dining restaurant on Summer Row offers a first-class dining experience. Birmingham-born and bred chef and owner, Aktar Islam, describes his culinary creations as the ‘unleashing’ of the inner workings of his mind. The five-course, ten course and A La Carte menus change with the seasons and offer progressive takes on classic Indian cuisine, keeping the very best but eschewing comfort and familiarity for experimentation and adventure. Tandoori BBQ mutton rib, korma with Orkney scallop, and the cumin milk loaf with onion bhuna butter are all fine examples of what Islam does best – adapting and evolving classics to create something entirely unique. To complement the bold flavours, let the expert sommelier team take you on a trip around the globe with their exceptional pairings. The beautifully lit, elegant restaurant also houses a private dining room, perfect for intimate dinners with family and friends, business lunches, and special occasions.</span>

The Best Afternoon Tea in Surrey

<div class="block lg:hidden" style="height: 15px;">
 &nbsp;
</div> 
 
<div class="hidden lg:block" style="height: 30px;">
 &nbsp;
</div> 
<div class="px-5 sm:px-10 max-w-4xl mx-auto"> 
 <p class="font-benton text-lg text-center leading-[30px] text-gray-700 font-normal pt-5">Is there anything more English than going for afternoon tea with a beautifully laid table replete with table cloth, fine China crockery, and silver cutlery? Then there are the refreshments themselves – tea poured from a teapot, or even fine champagne poured into crystal flutes, with delicately cut sandwiches, scones with jam and cream, not to mention a selection of delicious cakes and pastries. But where did the tradition of Afternoon Tea originate? It’s said that it was the Duchess of Bedford in 1840 who introduced the custom of a small meal at 4 o’clock in the afternoon because she was so hungry and couldn’t wait hours for her evening meal. The custom caught on in High Society, and nearly 200 years later, we can all enjoy the ‘meal’ and the experience.</p> 
 <p class="font-benton text-lg text-center leading-[30px] text-gray-700 font-normal pt-5"><span style="line-height: 1.1;">But it’s not only about what’s on the table that makes a delicious and enjoyable afternoon tea. It’s the venue and its surroundings that count just as much as the food and drink. Just as Afternoon Tea is the most English of mealtimes, <a href="https://sothebysrealty.co.uk/area-guides/surrey/surrey/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Surrey</a> is perhaps the most quintessentially English of counties, not even 30 minutes from London. With beautiful villages and vibrant towns surrounded by the most picturesque countryside, no wonder it’s viewed as being up there with the best that England has to offer. Usually described as leafy and quaint, Surrey has a tradition of providing the best establishments to take afternoon tea at, with a range of venues from five-star hotels to village tea shops and cafes and even the gardens of thatch-roofed pubs.</span></p>

   <div style="text-align: center;">
    <span style="line-height: 1.1;">So, even though the finest choices could perhaps fill a book – and probably have – here are five Surrey establishments recommended as the best places to partake in a ‘spot of afternoon tea’.</span>

 <div> 
  <h3 style="text-align: center; margin-bottom: 30px;"><span style="line-height: 1.1;">The Riverbank Kitchen at the Yvonne Arnaud Theatre, Guildford</span></h3> 
 </div> 
 <div> 
  <div style="text-align: center;">
   <span style="line-height: 1.1;">This is even more English in character than most if not all of the choices available. Set beside a picturesque river, you can sit on the terrace and watch the gentle flow of the river with birds twittering on the perfect summer’s day. And then, once you’ve enjoyed finger sandwiches, scones with raspberry jam, and clotted cream, you can take your seat in the adjoining theatre and take in the show. And like most Afternoon Tea menus, it doesn’t have to be tea that you’re drinking – a glass of fizz, white or rose, is just as fitting, especially on a classic July or August afternoon.</span>

  </div> 
  <div> 
   <div style="text-align: center;">
    <span style="line-height: 1.1;">The afternoon tea in the splendour of The Woodlands Park Hotel is as much about the impressive location as it is about the speciality teas, the dainty sandwiches, handmade cakes, pastries and scones. You can enjoy the occasion in either the Grand Hall, with its stained-glass ceiling windows, beautiful woodwork and amazing feature fireplace, or in the superb dining room, in all its dark oak majesty. The hotel invites party bookings for that special occasion, whether it’s birthday, anniversary, hen party or to prepare for motherhood.</span>

  </div> 
  <div> 
   <div style="text-align: center;">
    <span style="line-height: 1.1;">This choice is definitely at odds with the traditional idea of Afternoon Tea and would seem to suggest that between ordering a pot of tea and a chilling bottle of something fizzy and alcoholic the choice is probably pre-determined. What Denbieshas in its favour is the choice of locations within the Estate that you have to enjoy the occasion. For starters, Denbies offer either informal cream teas in their Conservatory Restaurant or their premium Sparkling Afternoon Tea in the Vineyard Restaurant.</span>

  </div> 
 </div>

<div class="hidden lg:block" style="height: 30px;">

   </div> 
  </div> 
  <div> 
   <div style="text-align: center;">
    <span style="line-height: 1.1;">In a step up from that, there’s the Afternoon Tea Hamper that accompanies The Vineyard Tour. You’ll enjoy a glass of Denbies Sparkling Wine as you are taken on a tour of the vineyard on the outdoor train up to the highest viewpoint on the estate. And the views are worth the ride up there. Following the tour, it’s time to enjoy an Afternoon Tea Hamper on the Lawn, alongother beautiful views. A further option following the tour, is a traditional afternoon tea served at the Vineyard Hotel with more superb sweeping views across the whole of the Vineyard over a Sparkling Wine, or a cup of tea or coffee.</span>

  </div> 
  <div> 
   <div style="text-align: center;">
    <span style="line-height: 1.1;">It’s doubtful that there’s a prettier venue for Afternoon Tea than this – Ramster Garden is a famous, award-winning botanic garden situated in the South of Surrey. The Ramster Garden Tea House itself is a delightfully picturesque café, with indoor and outdoor seating, situated on the edge of Ramster Garden. Less formal than the other establishments, but no less worth a visit for Afternoon Tea. The really nice feature of this location is that visitors can combine a visit to the café with a walk around the garden, or just come for the café as no entrance fee is required for café visits.</span>

  </div> 
  <div> 
   <div style="text-align: center;">
    <span style="line-height: 1.1;">It appears that the Harbour Hotel is the unanimous choice when it comes to THE place to go for <a href="https://sothebysrealty.co.uk/the-journal/best-afternoon-tea-in-surrey/" rel="noopener">Afternoon Tea in Surrey</a>. It’s hard to get a better recommendation than this. ‘The town centre four-star deluxe hotel offers an Afternoon Tea fit for a Queen!’ The Harbour is a stunning modern hotel in the centre of Guildford with the kind of reviews that can’t be ignored. The Afternoon Tea itself is traditional with a couple of mouth-watering variations. You’ll enjoy a delicious selection of freshly prepared sandwiches, cakes, pastries, buttery shortbread, strawberries dipped in chocolate and "Queen of Hearts jam tarts''. These are served alongside traditional scones with Devonshire clotted cream, jam and washed down with a fine selection of teas and coffees. The hotel is very welcoming when it comes to their clientele. For the children attending the Tea, there's even a 'Madhatter Milkshake'. If you hadn’t already worked it out, there’s also an ‘Alice in Wonderland’ theme at work in this particular Afternoon Tea menu.</span>

 <div> 
  <div> 
   <div style="text-align: center;">
    <span style="line-height: 1.1;">Most of the establishments only take bookings for Afternoon Tea, and the cost varies from place to place so it’s advisable to phone ahead and check, whichever one you choose. But whatever the place, and whatever the cost, it seems that this quaint old English custom is more popular than ever, not least in Surrey.</span>
