22. Visit the birthplace of a revolution
In 1688, three conspirators met at Revolution House, a pretty thatched cottage in Old Whittington, to plan what would become the Glorious Revolution - an invitation to William of Orange to take the throne of England in place of James II. Tours are not available currently, as Revolution House is temporarily closed - but it is one to add to your list once the building is open to visitors again. Photo: Photo © Paul Harrop (cc-by-sa/2.0)
