Moving Around this Website
The Places of Interest (POI’s) can be selected by Name (use the search box on the Front Page), or by Type of POI (Classification). Select a Classification from the title bar to see all the POI’s of that type on one page. You can then click on a POI on the map or on the boxes below the map to go to an individual POI.
On individual POI pages, the selected POI shows as a small pink square. Icons then show other nearby POI’s. Each POI webpage will have a photo, a description and a zoomable Ordnance Survey map showing the POI and boxes below the map listing other POI’ s nearby. You can click on Google Location to see the POI in Google Maps and get road directions. You can click on Related Website to go to a site with additional info on this POI.
Ways to Use this Website
- Select a noteworthy POI then see if there are any other interesting POI’s nearby that you could visit in the same trip
- Select a Classification that you’re particularly interested in – eg waterfalls. Then plan a trip to visit one or more of them. Again, you can also see if there are any other nearby POI’s that you could visit at the same time
- Baggers – like similar specialist websites, we expect that some people will set themselves a challenge to “tick off” a number of sites or the whole of a Classification. We will be setting up a Bagger table to record both adult and child Bagger achievements
POI’s not Walks
This site lists POI’s which we hope users will be interested in visiting. We do not provide guided walk notes for Off-Road POI’s. If you wish to find a guided walk visiting a particular POI, a Google search will often find a Walks site listing a walk taking in this POI.
Live use of this site requires a Phone Signal or Wifi connection
Moving around this site requires a phone signal as data and maps are downloaded as they are used. If you think you will be going to an area with no signal, some people take notes or screenshots before leaving home or when they have a signal.
