Great picks!
I think what cachibatches said about Italy holds true for Czech Republic and parts of Germany (the small preserved medieval towns in Bavaria for example) as well. Klatovy's Black tower looks like the perfect European medieval tower, it's almost like too perfect to be real, right out of a story book, but it is the real thing!
The UK and it's overseas territories also have the following a number of sites on UNESCO' list of tentative potential new world heritage sites, and these include -
Chatham Dockyard and its Defences
Creswell Crags
Darwin’s Landscape Laboratory
Flow Country
Island of St Helena
Mousa, Old Scatness and Jarlshof: the Zenith of Iron Age Shetland
Slate Industry of North Wales
The Twin Monastery of Wearmouth Jarrow
Turks and Caicos Islands

PARIS, July 25 (Xinhua) -- Four sites in China, India, Iran and Spain have been inscribed on the World Heritage List, announced the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) on Sunday.
Those sites include "Quanzhou: Emporium of the World in Song-Yuan China", "Ramappa Temple" in India, "Trans-Iranian Railway" in Iran, and "Paseo del Prado and Buen Retiro", a landscape of arts and sciences in Spain, the UNESCO said in a press release."
As a tourist, I don't find these new sites interesting. Their purpose might be preservation, recolonization, awareness something?
