這列表列出28個由聯合國教科文組織制定,在英國和海外領土的世界遺產。[1] 當中十七個在英格蘭,四個在蘇格蘭,三個在威爾士,一個位於北愛爾蘭,其餘海外領土包括百慕達,皮特肯群島及聖赫勒拿島各有一個。最先在1986年被列入世界遺產名冊的有巨人堤道、達勒姆座堂與達勒姆城堡和大教堂、鐵橋谷、斯塔德利皇家公園包括噴泉修道院遺址、 巨石陣、埃夫伯里和相關遺址、及圭內斯的愛德華國王城堡和城牆。最近被列入的是旁特塞斯特渡槽和運河在2009年。[2]
聯合國教育,科學及文化組織(通常簡稱教科文組織)在1946年11月4日正式成立。 它的目的是「保存和保護世界上書籍、藝術作品、歷史和科學古蹟的遺產」。[3]英國每年向世界遺產基金提供十三萬英鎊作為在發展中國家保存遺跡的資金。[4] Some designated properties contain multiple sites that share a common geographical location or cultural heritage.
The United Kingdom National Commission for UNESCO advises the British government, which is responsible for maintaining its World Heritage Sites, on policies regarding UNESCO.[5] In 2008, Andy Burnham – then Minister for Culture, Media, and Sport – voiced concerns over the worth of the designation of sites in the UK as World Heritage Sites and called for a review of the government's policy of putting forward new sites; this was partly due to rising costs and lower-than-expected income from visitors, few of which were aware of the World Heritage Site status of the sites they visited.[6]
World Heritage Site selection criteria i–iv are culturally related, and selection criteria vii–x are the natural criteria.[7] Twenty-three properties are designated as "cultural", four as "natural", and one as "mixed".[note 1][1] The breakdown of sites by type was similar to the overall proportions; of the 890 sites on the World Heritage List, 77.4% are cultural, 19.8% are natural, and 2.8% are mixed.[8] St Kilda is the only mixed World Heritage Site in the UK. Originally preserved for its natural habitats alone,[9] in 2005 the site was expanded to include the crofting community that once inhabited the archipelago; the site became one of only 25 mixed sites worldwide.[10] The natural sites are the Dorset and East Devon Coast; Giant's Causeway and Causeway Coast; Gough and Inaccessible Islands; and Henderson Island. The rest are cultural.[1]

The Neolithic sites of Avebury and Stonehenge are two of the largest and most famous megalithic monuments in the world. They relate to man's interaction with his environment.

"Associated sites" includes Silbury Hill, Beckhampton Avenue, and West Kennet Avenue.[41] |
Studley Royal Park including the Ruins of Fountains Abbey | ![]() |

Begun by William the Conqueror in 1066 during the Norman conquest of England, the Tower of London is a symbol of power and an example of Norman military architecture that spread across England.

Westminster, Greater London, England 51°29′59″N 0°07′43″W / 51.499722°N 0.128611°W[44] |
10th, 11th, and 19th centuries[44] | 426; 1987 (modified in 2008); i, ii, iv[44] |
The site has been involved in the administration of England since the 11th century, and later the United Kingdom. Since the coronation of William the Conqueror, all English and British monarchs have been crowned at Westminster Abbey. Westminster Palace, home to the British Parliament, is an example of Gothic Revival architecture; St Margaret's Church is the palace's parish church, and although it pre-dates the palace and was built in the 11th century, it has been rebuilt since.[44][45][46] |
Tentative list
[編輯]The Tentative List is an inventory of important heritage and natural sites that a country is considering for inscription on the World Heritage List, thereby becoming World Heritage Sites. The Tentative List can be updated at any time, but inclusion on the list is a prerequisite to being considered for inscription within a five- to ten-year period.[47]
The UK's Tentative List was last updated on 19 January 2006, and consisted of 15 sites. The properties on the Tentative List are as follows:[48]
- The Cairngorm Mountains, Scotland
- Chatham Naval Dockyard, England
- Darwin's Home and Workplace: Down House and Environs, England
- The Flow Country, Scotland
- The Forth Bridge, Scotland
- Fountain Cavern, Anguilla – a limestone cavern which contains Amerindian glyphs carved into the rock.[49]

Applicants for the tentative list
[編輯]Following the review of UK World Heritage Policy begun in December 2008, the government proposed to submit a new Tentative List to UNESCO in 2011, with a view to re-commencing nominations to the World Heritage List beginning in 2012 and beyond, although not necessarily every year.[50] Early in 2010 the government invited applications from local authorities and others, from throughout the UK, including the Overseas Territories and Crown Dependencies, for sites to be included on the new list. An independent expert panel was to be set up to advise Ministers on the applications, with a view to discouraging at an early stage, those applications which are unlikely to succeed.[50] On 7 July 2010 the Department for Culture, Media and Sport published a list of the 38 applicants received in the 2010 call for a new Tentative List, some of which were on the previous list. The 38 were:[50]
