Hello, my name is Thomas Harold Watson and I am on a journey to visit every (Tentative and) World Heritage Site on the planet…properly. I don’t just visit the best part(s) of it and leave, I stay (or return) for however long it takes until I have completely completed it before ticking it off. I plan on eventually posting more content of my travels to my YouTube account so I’d really appreciate any subscriptions, likes and comments, and I also occasional share pictures on my Instagram, so feel free to follow me there too.
It is so nice to be part of such an amazing community of UNESCO lovers. With all of your help you have made my visits so much better and fulfilled, I just hope that my reviews can help everyone else here as much as they’ve helped me.
My most impressive site: Hierapolis-Pamukkale
My proposal for a new site: Neuschwanstein Castle

Durham Castle and Cathedral (Inscribed)
Durham Castle and Cathedral
Durham Castle and Cathedral were lovely to visit but unfortunately not as tourist friendly as I would’ve liked them to have been. The castle itself has been completely turned into …

I wasn’t meant to visit Christiansfeld on the day that I went as I only planned on seeing the Jelling Mounds, but as I had a lot of time to …

I was impressed and disappointed with this site at the same time. I will start with my negative points and then move onto the nicer stuff afterwards.
You can …

When I first entered Bethlehem it was nothing like I had expected. You are surrounded by huge grey walls (covered in graffiti) and it felt like I was in a …
