replying to @GoGreenGatsby @GoGreenGatsby #trlt I've just checked - for a natural feature, Plitvice Lakes are actually quite young (12-15,000 years), but they are at least Croatia's oldest national park! Just seen it's €34 now to get in, that's steep coming from UK where national parks are all free.

A5: #GreatZimbabwe – the largest and best-preserved ancient stone-walled city in sub-Saharan Africa #TRLT https://t.co/5nCtnyCZRC

#trlt A5: right. Some stone menhir things from the ancient Britons, maybe 3000 years old? These are from Scotland.

Yes, it was raining. I couldn't get closer to them because mud. Lots of mud.

A1. Part deux Sometimes a modern building should be protected because of its contribution to history or design, such as the Pope-Leighy House near DC by Frank Lloyd Wright. An example of his Usonian design #TRLT

A5: The Royal Pyramids at #Meroë in #Sudan, where the charm of the unknown is just as impressive as the sight itself https://t.co/9yNVhlhv8Y #TRLT

A5: Newgrange in Ireland is a 5000 year old structure and the oldest Ancient Place I've visited. Ireland is special country for many reasons and the ancient sites are yet another incentive to visit. #TRLT @ancienteastIRL

A5. As much as I love #TRLT and #ancientcities, I’m going to have to head home with this one. The #Appalachian Mountains are 480 years old. It’s hard to get more ancient than that!

A5: Sticking with Sigiriya, my advice is to get there as soon as they open and head straight for the rock. I did that and had plenty of room for my climb as there were few other people ascending that early. This is good advice for most places, actually! @FuninFairfax #TRLT

A3 #TRLT. Komodo Dragons are very ancient. recent research suggests they are a relict of very large varanid lizards that once lived across Indonesia and Australia, most of which, died out after the Pleistocene.

#TRLT A5: Creswell Crags. An ancient river valley, with caves used by post-ice-age-era hunters. 10-12k years old.

replying to @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot @FunInFairfax #trlt #a5 Athens - well that's all obvious enough, but once you have done the main stuff it's a surprising "car" place where I'd advise driving out of the city and exploring the huge wealth of places around it. Just don't drive it back into the city, as traffic still nightmare!

A5: When I 1st visited Parco dei Aquedotti in Rome, it blew my mind off! Think that you can have a picnic wathing the 2000 yrs old aqueducts or walk or cycle next to them on a road where you can still see trailer tracks of the ancient Romans :-O #TRLT

A5. One of the ancient sites I loved was Avebury Henge ... so civilized! Ancient stone circles with a pub in the middle! (Note white building in background for good ales and cider) #TRLT

A5. Not many visitors see the #Tsodilo Hills when they travel to #Botswana on safari. But it is definitely worth the visit, and is one of the most ancient civilization sites in the world! How can you add it to your list? Plan your trip with a safari expert, like me! #TRLT
