The New York style-park an hour from Greater Manchester backed to win world heritage status
A park an hour from Greater Manchester which inspired New York’s Central Park has received Government backing to win Unesco World Heritage status. Birkenhead Park in Merseyside is among seven sites in the running to join the prestigious list.
The Zenith of Iron Age Shetland, a collection of three ancient settlements dating back thousands of years, has also been placed on the Tentative List. Places of natural significance recommended for consideration by the DCMS include the East Atlantic Flyway, a migratory bird route over western parts of Europe including Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex and Kent.
If successful, the seven sites would join the 33 other World Heritage sites already based in the UK including Stonehenge and Hadrian’s Wall.
