United Kingdom: City of Bath
Score: 78

"Bath is a very well-kept reserve of Georgian architecture. What it is remarkable at Bath: the human scale of everything, from its many museums and walks to cultural events, shops, and restaurants."

"Very well done in terms of both urban conservation and interpretation of Roman and Georgian heritage."

"A beautifully presented World Heritage town. High-quality maintenance. A great deal of the charm of the city derives from high-quality gardens and public open space. Interpretation is of high quality."

"Overcrowding can be a problem."

"The town remains generally in good condition with a strong local authority and an enlightened and well-informed view of conservation."

United Kingdom: Jurassic Coast of Dorset and East Devon
Score: 70

"Well managed, although the popularity of the coastal walks leads to severe erosion of the cliffs and 'people pollution.' At busy times there are convoys of walkers. The information is good when you can find it. Unusually effective visitor centers."

"Creatively responding to the challenge of blending WHS designation (owing to outstanding geology) with a traditional seaside tourist destination, through encouraging sustainable access and exploration, for instance through themed walks and events."

"The new visitor centers at Charmouth and Lulworth are good, although there could be more emphasis on environmental protection. Surrounding towns and villages clearly benefit from the level of visitors, but there is a great deal of congestion in summer, as in Lyme Regis. Some of the tourism development seems inappropriate (e.g., cliff-top caravan parks)."

"WHS is still at a relatively early stage of management and has a complex set of stakeholders and historical tourism issues. Under the circumstances, the steering committee is doing an excellent job and gradually improving the area's image and sense of unity."

United Kingdom: Stonehenge and environs
Score: 56

"Massive numbers of tourists cycle through the site on a daily basis, making for a crowded, noisy environment.Condition of the site is protected by fencing to discourage defacing the structures, but the visual sightlines are disrupted. It does not appear that local populations benefit from the tourist development of the site, which has been protected from excessive commercial and residential development."

"Aesthetic qualities compromised by existing road and adjacent development. Massive tourism is limited to a few hours' visit, so there are few benefits to surrounding communities."

"What a mess! Compelling … over-loved … certainly the current experience lacks magic."

"Crowd control is a good thing, but overregulation has made the visitor's experience rather disappointing,charm is gone. Would be good if something is done to surrounding landscape."

"Good interpretation and SO impressive. But you can get a similar impact from lots of other stone circles, especially up north in Scotland, without all the noise and intrusion."
