Seven sites have been backed by the Government to receive Unesco World Heritage status - they include: 📍 York city centre 📍 Birkenhead Park in Merseyside 📍 an Iron Age settlement in Shetland, Scotland

It has been added to the list in recognition of its vital importance to bird populations and wildlife as an area that sees huge transient bird populations pass through every year. Jarlshof, part of the Zenith of Iron Age Shetland, a collection of three ancient settlements dating back thousands of years Heritage minister, Lord Parkinson of Whitley Bay, said: “Today we are confirming our support for some of the most enchanting heritage sites and breathtaking landscapes in the UK and its overseas territories as they bid for Unesco World Heritage Site status.
