Explore Britain
The independent travellers' guide
There are plenty of websites which will give you top-down tourist information about the major cities and attractions in Britain; this website takes a different approach and lists every town and village in mainland Great Britain and the associated offshire islands together with a comprehensive list of heritage and culture related tourist attractions. Features include:
- Every city, town, village and hamlet listed in the Ordnance Survey gazetteer - that's over 42,000 locations
- Every hill, mountain, water feature and antiquity listed in the Ordnance Survey gazetteer
- Over 4,000 heritage and cultural tourist attractions (and the odd theme park as well!)
- Nearly 10,000 hotels and other places to stay
- Location maps for all of the above
- Visitor comments and photographs
