I also managed to compile a big list of WHS that are also featured as the 80 treasures of the world as selected by Dan Cruikshank for his BBC documentary. not sure if this is a good route to start as there are plenty of other lists that can be cross referenced with but I just happen to be a fan of this series so thought I would suggest it. Could also do one for WHS visited by Michael Palin in his travel series.
