United Kingdom - New Lanark

"New Lanark is a small 18th- century village set in a sublime Scottish landscape where the philanthropist and Utopian idealist Robert Owen moulded a model industrial community in the early 19th century. The imposing cotton mill buildings, the spacious and well-designed workers' housing, and the dignified educational institute and school still testify to Owen's humanism."

    What an amazing site and the history is quite amazing too! - that explains why it's a UNESCO listed World Heritage Site. www.newlanark.org is a good starting point for more info on this unique village.
