What is Discover Alone?
Discover Alone is a free map for people who want to find somewhere interesting without another tourist checklist. Search an area in Ireland, England, Scotland or Wales and browse more than a million mapped places: old buildings, local history, woods, beaches, walks and plenty of odd finds. Choose a distance or place type, open a place page and follow its original record or credited picture where available. You can add a missing place or share a local story.
Explorer Tom brings jokes, tips and a cheeky nudge to places he has written up. The map works across the whole collection, including places Tom has not reached yet. Browsing needs no account or payment.
