Old and New Towns of Edinburgh
New Lanark
Frontiers of the Roman Empire(Hadrian’s Wall - The “Hadrian’s Wall” which was previously inscribed on the World Heritage List, is part of the transnational property “Frontiers of the Roman Empire”.)
There was also one we had visited that has lost UNESCO status
Liverpool – Maritime Mercantile City
Although we've been to a lot, there are a number of places we haven't visited. We did try to visit Bath once, but found we couldn't park so ended up visiting nearby Wells instead. Our trip to Hadrian's Wall was cancelled due to the pandemic. We've also seen Stonehenge and the Forth bridge from a distance, but have yet to visit them. The list includes some places we will never visit. Remote islands, especially those inaccessible and untouched by a human presence, are never going to happen.
But Bermuda? (Why is that under UK sites?*) Now there's an idea......
*Bermuda is a British island territory in the North Atlantic Ocean so it's UNESCO site is included as a UK site.
