MONUMENTS AND LANDMARKS
From icons of England to sites that play a central role in national ceremonies of remembrance, English Heritage cares for some of the country’s most recognisable monuments.
These include Stonehenge the world-famous stone circle that has stood on Salisbury Plain for over 4,000 years, as well as nearly sixty other prehistoric monuments; Sir Edwin Lutyen’s solemn, moving Cenotaph the Royal Artillery Memorial and the nearby Wellington Arch , built to honour the Iron Duke’s victory at Waterloo and now topped with the immense quadriga sculpture; King James’s and Landport Gates in Portsmouth, which once formed part of the defences of this vital coastal town; and Hadrian’s Wall , a UNESCO World Heritage Site that marked the northern frontier of the mighty Roman Empire
