Love those icons on UK’s Tourist Information Map
OK, I’m interested in nature and nature attractions in the UK. I explored England’s West Country Tourist Information Google Map from Timaps and found beautiful, coloured icons grouped by category; arts/crafts; churches, nature attractions, heritage railways, historic buildings, leisure/theme parks, museums, wildlife attractions, shopping, food & drink, and ‘other’.
The site is well-designed. Navigation is clear and straightforward, starting with the opening map of the UK, showing its tourist regions. Broad searches can start with cities, rural areas and seaside destinations. Attractions can be grouped by the user by region, by category, by popularity and by name. When I clicked on the Exbury Gardens and Steam Railway icon, I was able to navigate to their website. You can create your own ‘custom map’ and place destination markers of interest.
My only problem was that I could not contact the owners/developers of this site, either via their on-line form, or via regular email (even after I registered on their site). Maybe if they see this posting someone will contact me.
