The world is full of impressive monuments. Each one has a significant history, a story, and a lesson. However, with time, things fade away, as do the places and their importance. But thanks to the fantastic initiative by UNESCO in preserving the history and significance of these world monuments, we don’t just get to appreciate these monuments but learn so much about our history from them. It is a fantastic way to see how far we have come along as human beings.
Among the many heritage sites in the world, we see quite a few fantastic sites in Great Britain. The history of this country is vibrant and significant. And so that the monuments. If you are planning a trip to Great Britain, here are a few UNESCO heritage sites you should definitely visit:
1.  Blenheim Palace
This palace might seem romantic from its look, but it has a considerable history behind it, which is anything but romantic. The court was a gift by the nation to John Churchill after his victory against the Bavarian and French troops. From 1704 till today, it is a magnificent palace and a sight to behold.
2.  City of Bath
We all know how sophisticated the Romans were regarding their beauty and lifestyle. And this UNESCO site is a living example of it. Made by the Romans, this place was actually a thermal spa. However, in the 18th century, the area extended, and a new town was built under George III. Today, the site is a town that blends perfectly naturally with the Roman spa.
The bridge Pulteney Bridge is a bridge over the River Avon in Bath, England. It was completed by 1774 and connected the city with the land of the Pulteney family, which it wished to develop. Designed by Robert Adam in a Palladian style, it is highly unusual in that it has shops built across its full span on both sides.
3.  Frontiers of the Roman Empire
Also known as the Roman Limes, these are the borderlines of the Roman Empire dating back to the 2nd century A.D. with a stretch of 5,000 km; these frontiers are nothing but remains of ditches, built walls, fortresses, forts, civilian settlements, and watchtowers. The fact that these remains are millennia old is a wonder.
4.  Tower of London
One of the most significant landmarks of royalty and history is the Tower of London. Having an architecture inspired by the Norman military, this tower was made by William the Conqueror to protect the city and display his immense powder. It was built in 1066 and still stands as a perfect depiction of how far we have come.
5.  Giant’s Causeway and Causeway Coast
Located in Northern Ireland, this beautiful coast is a nature wonder. It is made from more than 40,000 black rock columns. According to geologists, this site is about 3,000 years old and was created due to volcanic activity about 60 million years ago. Whatever the reason is for this formation, this coast has always been an inspiration for Giant legends and stories. It is a beautiful natural site, and UNESCO has taken necessary measures to protect and preserve it.
