A new map has been unveiled featuring all 58 United Nations Education, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) sites in the UK. It includes biospheres, creative cties, global geoparks and World Heritage sites. The map, illustrated by artist Tom Woolley, was launched by UNESCO to raise awareness of the breadth of natural, cultural and built heritage sites throughout the country. It features The Living Coast, our local UNESCO Biosphere that Brighton & Hove sits at the heart of, stretching from the South Downs to the coast. The Living Coast was designated a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in 2014. This recognises the region’s outstanding natural environments – the South Downs, the towns and the coast.
