In no particular order:
Cadiz, Spain - beautiful walled city, with a huge amount of history and amazing architecture
Amsterdam, Netherlands - just beautiful to walk around in the spring or winter, and to just watch the world go by
Venice, Italy - getting lost in Venice is a joy, so much to see!
Monument Valley, USA - natural beauty, huge sweeping vistas, stunning sunsets
Valley of the Kings, Egypt - history? There’s thousands of years packed into a tiny space, all of it beautiful
Glastonbury Tor, UK - worth the hike up the hill to watch the sunrise on a summers morning |

Kenai Fjords - glaciers and wildlife
Fernandina - Galapagos. Beautiful volcanic island with amazing wildlife.
Cotopaxi, Equador - stunning park and great volcano *even if the summit is hard work
Namibia Desert - gorgeous red sand dunes.
Bird Island - Seychelles. Beaches & wildlife. Unique ecosystems. The only island that really has the 'awe' factor for me.
Bay of Islands - NZ. Night kayaking with bioluminescence in water is one of my favourite memories. Like a Disney film.
Bagan - Myanmar. A couple of thousand temples from hot air balloon was gorgeous and well worth the early get up.
Jambiani Beach - Zanzibar. Not one of the white sand beaches like other more popular areas. This is wilder and empty.
Mulu Caves- Borneo. Approx 3 million bats leave at sunset in a line. Have never seen anything like that.
That's probably enough 😆

The Uyuni salt flats in Bolivia. They are at about 3500m and the largest salt flats in the world. Very beautiful.
To be fair the whole of Bolivia is just jaw dropping - intensely desolate but incredibly mineral rich. You see bands of different minerals in mountains everywhere. Greens, reds, oranges. Everything. |

It was incredible. Just sat there and soaked it all in for a long while.
Then totally opposite - Hiroshima is a beautiful place and it can only really be understood by being there. It’s so serene and calm. It feels like no other place I’ve been on earth. |

Agree, La Sagrada Familia, awe inspiring that it came from 1 mind… the detail… started building it in 1882 and elements won’t be completed for another decade… immersive… could spend a day in it and not see it all…
Also the Holy Stone of Clonrichert when geology can be so awe inspiring it’s almost like it’s not real… |

Plovdiv Bulgaria is a very beautiful city. The oldest city in Europe, has lots of Roman remains, amphitheatre, Roman streets, Roman houses, wonderful food and all at a very good price. The old town has some of the best views I've ever seen. Would definitely recommend. |

Northern Cyprus - Karsiyaka. Discovered a beautiful little restaurant at the top of the mountains. Stunning sea views with horses wandering around. Effortless and rustic but so beautiful. |

The Grand Canyon- honestly photos/videos of it just don’t do it justice. Especially as we had an amazing tour guide who really went in depth about the formation of the canyon, the rocks etc! |

All over Ireland really.
I love long drives and at any given point you'll round a bend or top a rise and suddenly be greeted by stunning views and photo-worthy scenes.
Just glorious. Makes everything settle inside to see nature in all it's glory 🍀  |

I’m biased but there is something special about standing on pier head in Liverpool and seeing the magnificent ‘three graces. They do make the skyline breathtaking. |

You are right to be biased,it is a fantastic sight for sure.But I just found out recently that Liverpool lost it's UNESCO World heritage rating a few years ago. Not been there as a tourist since 2017,so has it changed that much? |

"For me it has to be the Peak District, love living in the hills surrounded by beautiful scenery on my doorstep."
I understand why you find the beauty of the Peak District.
I lived there for several years.
It truly is stunning and I can fully understand why photographers flock to the Peak District.
Villages with elderly people who have lived their entire life without travelling any further than Bakewell or Buxton.
Close knit communities. (although some outsiders describe the communities as "inbreds")
9 ladies and Arbor Low.
And Shit Holes, erm, I mean Dove Holes.
And the largest quarry in somewhere.
I must now apologise, you have reminded me that the Peak District should have been in my top 20 places. |

I really don't know the particulars of why Liverpool might have been taken off the UNESCO list.
However, what I DO know is that to get a listing on UNESCO requires a lot of attention to detail and originality.

From what I understand it lost its status due to the rapid redevelopment happening along the waterfront, including the new Everton stadium. As mentioned above, there is strict criteria for UNESCO. I get it but redevelopment is bound to happen in big cities. I don’t personally see it as a bad thing. It’s good for tourism and income, plus I quite like the contrast of old and new (if done well) 😃 |

Excellent answer!
As I see it, UNESCO are quite picky and as you say, require a lot of attention to detail and originality.
I personally don't have an issue with this, but perhaps it is why UNESCO status for Harlech (or other Gwynedd castles) Castle is dependant on there being no glass panels or safety railings on the top of the battlements.
I fully understand why a parent with a toddler might not want their toddler to be give free access to the battlements of Harlech Castle.
