World Heritage Sites in the UK  Did you know that there are 25 World Heritage Sites in the UK ? That is, 25 unique places of "outstanding universal value" . They are well worth putting near the top of your list of places to visit in the UK.
These sites are beneficiaries from the 1972 World Heritage Convention and the yearly World Heritage Committee, part of UNESCO, and are funded by the countries who have signed up. The shared vision sees these sites as our legacy from the past, to enjoy and live with today, and to pass on to future generations. Both our cultural and natural heritage are irreplaceable sources of life and inspiration and make good family holiday destinations: beautiful, interesting, fulfilling, educational and fun.
