UNESCO World Heritage UK Launch New Online Industrial Heritage Trail

UNESCO World Heritage UK has launched a new online Industrial Heritage Trail linking industrial world heritage sites, landscapes, global geoparks, cities of literature and film, and several of the UK’s Tentative List sites. The trail covers locations in England, Scotland, and Wales in a digital journey that runs from Cornwall to the Firth of Forth.

These 20 sites tell the story of industry from the top to the bottom of Britain, ranging from mills, mines, and quarries to canals, railways, and industrial cities. The intention is to ‘connect places and landscape shaped by innovation, labour and geology, inviting visitors to explore how industry transformed everyday life and left a lasting cutlural legacy’.
