This National Trust property has a whopping 500-acres of an estate to explore which is totally breathtaking. Once here, make sure to explore the Orangery and pristine gardens before hopping inside to see the collections of ceramics and art pieces in the manor."

15 Best Things to Do in Plymouth (Devon, England
"On the east side of Plymouth Hoe stands the Royal Citadel, built in the 1600s during the Dutch Wars in the reign of King Charles II. It was designed by the Dutch military engineer Bernard de Gomme in an unorthodox configuration, using local limestone. The Royal Citadel is still a military base controlled by the British Army, but you can come for guided two-hour tours on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays from April to September. You can go up to the ramparts, still armed with cannons, to look across the Plymouth Sound."

Top things to do in Romania
"Suceava's rugged, abandoned 14th-century citadel has gotten a high-tech makeover, allowing visitors to scramble over the rocks and into the various chambers and learn the structure's history through clever video presentations and hands-on touchscreen exhibits. It's great for kids, the only downside being most of the text and video is only in Romanian. The unconquerable fortress withstood multiple attacks, including one by Ottoman Sultan Mehmed II in 1475, just 22 years after his conquest of Constantinople (Istanbul)."
