County Antrim village inscribed on World Heritage list

Gracehill in County Antrim has been awarded World Heritage status by Unesco.

The village was founded 264 years ago and is home to the only complete Moravian settlement in Ireland.

The Moravian Church, one of the earliest Protestant denominations, arrived in the UK and Ireland from central Europe in the early 18th century.

It becomes the first site in Northern Ireland to be granted cultural World Heritage status.

The Giant's Causeway rock formation, also in County Antrim, has been a natural World Heritage site since 1986.
