Jersey Museum & Art Gallery
There are many interesting exhibits, worth going to, buy tickets on the spot
King Street
St Helier city centre is quite easy to visit, and the island duty-free, treasure can take the opportunity to chop hands.
Jersey Central Market
Similar to London's Borough Market, lots of interesting shops, full of colour contrast.
▫️ Le Petit Train
A small tourist train up the coast to St Aubin, £6 one way, £9 return, is a good experience.
▪️ Mont Orgueil Castle
A medieval stone castle, Gorey Pier looks stunning from the top.
▫️ Elizabeth Castle
The Tudor Castle on the Tidal Island, which can be reached by sea car or on foot, has a nice view when the weather is good. It's more like a harbor, but beautiful!
▪️ Jersey War Tunnels
The mind-blowing World War II memorial exhibition is not to be missed.
Reading Museum
📍Blagrave St, Reading, RG1 1QH
⏰ Opening hours: Tuesday to Friday 10:00-16:00, Saturday 10:00-17:00, closed Sunday and Monday.
Yesterday, I passed Reading to visit the Reading Museum, where the Bayeux Tapestry (Bayeux Tapestry), which is 70 meters long and divided into 13 chapters, records the legendary story of the Norman conquest of England. Although it is called a tapestry, it is actually a kind of embroidery; Although it is one of the most famous medieval works of art in the world, compared with Chinese embroidery, it is really a big difference.
Abbey Ruins
📍 Address: Abbot's Walk, Reading, RG1 3HW
⏰ : Monday to Sunday 8:00-18:00
Another place to visit in Reading town Centre is the ruins of Reading Abbey, a Grade I listed building. This is a large abandoned monastery. It was founded by Henry I in 1121. At its peak, the Abbey was one of the largest royal monasteries in Europe and made Reading known as an important religious centre in Western Europe. Henry I was buried there.
In 1538, during the dissolution of the monasteries by Henry VIII, most of them were destroyed. The last abbot was then tried, found guilty of treason, and hanged and quartered in front of the Abbey church. Since then, the monastery buildings have been looted, and many of the monastery's decorative glass and decorative stones have been diverted for other purposes.
An ancient object, a historic site, today there are more experiences to understand history, feel culture and witness the years...
University of Reading (slightly further away, consider taking the bus)
📍 Address: Whiteknights House, Reading, RG6 6UR
Green Flag Award winning campus for 13 consecutive years, really beautiful! Here is not only picturesque, there are all kinds of lovely animals to accompany oh! A family of Egyptian geese walks leisurely by the lake, and swans rest by the lake. If you're lucky, you'll encounter Ziggy, the famous cat with an Instagram account.
The most surprising thing is the gorgeous rainbow after the rain, like a special gift from nature, who can refrain from taking a few Dally for good luck! I hope the next homework exam all distinction, if lucky, can also see the aurora in the night sky on campus, beautiful like a dream, super romantic experience!
