There are times when we can’t travel far from our houses due to various reasons. This resource will help you discover your local area and neighbourhood anywhere in the UK and the islands! No more struggling with ideas where to go for a walk in your area. 

Scotland, Wales, England, Northern Ireland and Ireland - If you live in the UK and think you’ve already walked every possible street and path near your house, or in contrary, you have no idea where to go and what to explore in your neighbourhood?! Look no further

The Geograph website covers all of the UK and Ireland, it lets you see what is on your doorstep as the project has photographed every 1km grid square of the country, including the islands! I've used it to check out stuff within a walk/cycle from my house and come across loads of things I never knew existed.  Just zoom the map to where you are and check out what's around the corner from you! 

You probably know how much we love maps and going out to explore places, so this resource is a gem! This interactive map is easy to use- click on the “Maps” tab on the left had side and zoom to your location. You can zoom in with the mouse, touch pad or click "+” button at the the top left corner.
