In the 19th century, many people lived and worked in terrible conditions. Sir Titus Salt owned mills where cotton was made, but he was different to other bosses. He built a complete village for his workers with pleasant houses and green spaces. This village is Saltaire and it is now a living museum where people still live and work. 2. Henderson Island.

Nobody lives here, and the island is important for scientists to see how animals and plants grow and live when they are left completely on their own. 3. Blenheim Palace. This has been the home of the Churchill family since 1722. The land had been given to John Churchill by the government after he fought and won in a war. Sir Winston Churchill was born here. The palace is now open to visitors. 4. Durham Castle and Cathedral. Durham is a small city in the north of England with the third oldest university in England after Oxford and Cambridge.
