I have you beat on US sites, but only by two.

I've been to nine of those - Kyoto, Paris, Bath, Ironbridge, Liverpool, Greenwich, Kew, Stonehenge/Avebury and Westminster and live in a tenth, which is a pain in the arse at times.

I've done about half of those. I'll have to hunt down the rest of the list.

I've done 23. Quite surprised. My big gap is Wales! Where's the whole list??
