Frequently asked questions

How many national landscapes (aonb) are in this guide?
We currently list 153 national landscapes (aonb) across the United Kingdom β€” every entry sourced from Wikipedia, Wikidata or OpenStreetMap and validated against our schema.
Are these places free to visit?
Many places in the guide are free to enter β€” almost every national museum, every public park and garden, every parish church and cathedral. Castles, historic houses and theme parks usually charge admission; National Trust and English Heritage members visit those properties free.
Where does the data come from?
Every entry is built from open data: OpenStreetMap (locations, tags, opening hours), Wikipedia (descriptions), Wikidata (structured facts and operator information), Wikimedia Commons (images), ONS open data (population). The site never makes runtime API calls β€” everything is fetched at build time and committed.
How often is this updated?
A weekly automated job re-fetches the upstream sources and rebuilds the site. Manual editorial corrections are applied as overlays on top of the open data.
