Our Sites
From expansive mountain ranges and stunning coastlines to vibrant cities and rural landscapes – the UK’s UNESCO sites are places of world-class natural and cultural heritage, incredible biodiversity and spectacular geology.
65 land-based UNESCO Designated Sites exist in the United Kingdom, Crown Dependencies and Overseas Territories. Collectively, these tell the story of the British Isles in an unparalleled way: its creation, formation, biodiversity, occupation, invasion, monarchy, religion, industry, culture, scientific invention, and creativity.
In addition to the land-based designations, the UK is home to many items that are part of the UNESCO Memory of the World Register for documentary heritage. To explore these, click on the 'List View' below and select the appropriate tab.
