The fifth is the Isle of Skye Major. It’s a private island that you can rent for £500 a week. No one knows where it is, only the locals. There’s only forest, sea, and one house. The sixth is the Harry Potter Library in London. It’s not a museum. It’s a private collection of books collected by a fan. It contains first editions, hand-copies, and items from the films. Admission is by invitation only. The seventh is Stone Mountain Cave in Devon. It has an underground waterfall that sounds like an organ. Locals say that hearing it means hearing the voice of the earth. The eighth is the House of Mirrors in Berkshire. It’s a private house where the walls are covered in mirrors. Inside, there’s silence, light, and reflections. People don’t take photos there—they just look. Ninth is the Windmill Cemetery in Cambridgeshire. There are 17 windmills there, each with a name. They are not repaired. They stand like monuments. Tenth is the Museum of Silence in North Wales. There are no exhibits. Only a room where you are not allowed to speak. Bring a book and spend an hour in silence. These places are not for photographs. They are for the soul. They are not advertised. They are alive. And if you find them, you will understand: Britain is not a country. It is a state.
