Tourist Information Maps

Tourist Information Maps is an online mapping service which plots the location of hundreds of tourist attractions and hotels throughout the UK.

This ingenious site uses the super technology of Google Maps and adds map markers to distinguish places of interest, allowing users to quickly find information about destinations within a chosen geographical area. TiMaps provide local tourist information including descriptions of the attractions, locations and contact information. You can also view additional information like opening hours, entrance fees and official website links.

Start your search by entering a postcode or place name and use the interactive map to move around and zoom in and out. The list of attractions also appears down the left hand side of your map so you can either click through there or on the map icons themselves.

The range of attractions is divided into categories, each represented by a different icon. These include:
Art galleries, craft centres & potteries, beaches, cathedrals, abbeys and churches, food & drink, nature attractions, gardens & parks, heritage railways, historical buildings & castles, theme parks, museums, shopping centres, tourist information centres and wildlife attractions, zoos & safari parks.

The site brilliantly also features accommodation maps, so you can book a hotel, inn or B&B by location. Once you find where you would like to stay you are redirected to www.activehotels.com where you can check rates and availability and book your room. There is an option to get driving directions to your hotel or any of the places of interest featured on site.

An exciting and interactive way to explore places of interest throughout the country.
