Coverage

What we cover, and what comes next

Britlens is a growing guide to 59 destinations and London, not the whole of the UK. Each destination below has the same structure: areas to base yourself, things to do, places to eat and stay, and how to get there.

Destinations we have built

Listed by nation. The numbers come from our own data, so they change as we add areas.

What we do not cover yet

Much of the UK has no Britlens guide yet. If a town, county, island or national park is not listed above, we do not cover it in detail, although a nearby guide may mention it as a day trip. Our practical pages for visitors apply wherever you go:

Coming next

These are the next destinations we plan to build, roughly in this order. We add a guide only once its places, photos and directions have been checked, so we do not promise dates.

  1. The Isle of Wight England
  2. Newcastle, Northumberland and Hadrian's Wall England
