TOURIST INFORMATION - We do not have a telephone or email public tourist information line so if you need help please use the excellent Tourist Information Centres listed below.
National Rail enquiries: website www.nationalrail.co.uk, tel 08457 48 49 50.
Please do not ask us for help in researching your family history. We get many, many, requests but we are not genealogists nor do we have the time to do the research.
Every page for a specific location has a map based on the Ordnance Survey mapping. Since Microsoft has now taken over Multimap - these map links no longer work as intended - so please don't complain to us about the less useful locations maps!
If you are wanting to add an event to our events istings - please do so here.
