Description
Follow GPS-triggered, self-guided tours with the Places and Trails app. Perfect for tourists, travellers, sightseers and history and heritage buffs.
Places and Trails, by AT Creative, the specialists in self-guided tour apps, allows you to follow outdoor walking, cycling and driving trail experiences - with unique insight from locals, hikers and experts.
Search and download a growing directory of self-guided trails and audio tours from the Explore tab. There are walks from just 0.5 miles long to driving tours covering over 200 miles.
WHAT CAN YOU DISCOVER?
You can explore mining and industrial heritage in Cornwall and Wales, hike with Smugglers in Dorset and discover how a nature reserve was made near Manchester and Liverpool. Get up close and personal with William Shakespeare in Stratford-upon-Avon, meet dinosaurs and Charles Darwin in London and learn how a crime-riddled area in Birmingham became a desirable estate. Visit hidden gems in National Parks and lesser known towns and villages. Why not drive through the length and breadth of Wales following in the footsteps of a Victorian travel writer or take a bike ride along the Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire border? Plus many more tales and trails to uncover.
HOW PLACES AND TRAILS WORKS
Select trails from the following regions: South East England, South West England, Middle England, Eastern England, Northern England and Wales, or use the overview map.
Choose the tour you’d like to follow from My Trails, read the instructions on the Trail Summary screen and get started. Use the link on the ‘Getting here’ section to get turn-by-turn navigation directions to the start of each trail.
Each trail has a map with waypoints. Content will trigger when you reach a trail waypoint. Some trails just contain audio (the audio tour plays automatically when you arrive at a Place) and the playback is controlled via the audio player at the bottom of the Map or List View screens.
Other trails have multimedia content on individual place pages. Tap the trigger notification, a map pin or the waypoint name on List view to access the content. Always read the Trail Summary before setting off to learn how that trail works.
Some trails only trigger in a fixed order i.e. you need to visit stop 1 before you can trigger stop 2 etc, to ensure you follow the narrative. Other trails can be triggered in any order.
Use the map toolbar to enable and disable auto-centring and auto-rotation; change the map layer; turn GPS on and off; and view the trail pins.
** For the best experience you should always allow the app to access your location. **
The app works offline and offers a generous selection of free trails, along with premium paid experiences for those seeking even more adventure.
