Cadw: World Heritage Sites (3rd Party Data)
Natural Resources of Wales (NRW) are supplied a number of historic and cultural datasets under a licence from Cadw. Cadw is the Welsh Government’s historic environment service working for an accessible and well-protected historic environment for Wales. They were set up with the aim of conserving Wales’s heritage, helping people understand and care about their history and helping to sustain the distinctive character of Wales.This is a spatial dataset containing the digitised boundaries of World Heritage Sites. World Heritage Sites are places that the World Heritage Committee of UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) has inscribed on a list of international sites because of their outstanding universal value, the importance of which is so great as to transcend national boundaries. Wales currently has three world heritage sites - the Castles and Town Walls of Edward I in Gwynedd at Caernarfon, Conwy, Beaumaris and Harlech in north-west Wales; Blaenavon Industrial Landscape in south-east Wales; and Pontcysyllte Aqueduct and Canal in north-east Wales.
