December 13, 2021 | Read time: 12m 38s
Britain is home to 25 UNESCO World Heritage Sites (plus one in Northern Ireland) from Orkney in the North to the tip of Cornwall. Many of the sites are deeply ingrained in Britain's pioneering Victorian industrial heritage and mining culture, especially so in Wales and northern England. In the south, Stonehenge and the Jurassic Coast make up the share of natural sites, whilst many of London's biggest attractions are also UNESCO sites including the imposing Tower of London, beautiful Kew Gardens, the towering Palace of Westminster and idyllic Greenwich.
