Britain's World Heritage Sites
17 March 2008
Those eager to try something different this Easter may well be tempted to visit one of the World Heritage Sites across Britain, which range from Neolithic monuments to Roman remains and natural landscapes.
Notable places in England include Liverpool's Albert Dock, Derwent Valley Mills in Derbyshire, Stonehenge in Wiltshire and the Dorset and east Devon coast, many of which provide ample walking and cycling opportunities for people who wish to visit them.
Other sites elsewhere in the British Isles include the Heart of Neolithic Orkney monuments in Scotland, Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland and Blaenavon Industrial Landscape in south Wales.
Tourism resource VisitBritain explains that such attractions are listed according to two main criteria - natural and cultural heritage.
Natural heritage sites include the habitats of endangered plants or animals and features of outstanding natural beauty, while cultural heritage sites include monuments and locations of historical, anthropological or archaeological value.
