Blaenavon

We have the aspiration for every World Heritage Site in the UK to have World Heritage Youth Ambassadors! If you have young people interested in World Heritage, you can accreit them through our scheme. Watch out for more information about becoming a site in 2025.
Hadrian's Wall
Hadrian's Wall is an exceptional example of a linear Roman frontier, encompassing an extensive archaeological landscape which reflects the way resources were deployed in the north western part of the Roman Empire and which displays the unifying character of the Roman Empire, through its common culture.
