What tools does the dashboard include?

The dashboard gives you quick links to your guides, interactive route maps, saved notes and useful links for your trip.

Can I customise my route?

How visual are the guides?

Guides include route overviews, maps and clearly structured sections so you can see where places sit in relation to each other and plan days that flow well.

Can I see an example of the guides?

Who prepares the routes and listings?

Routes and listings are researched by the Uncover Britain team using tourism board information, regional heritage sources and first-hand travel experience.
