Visit History: Historic Sites

Every English Heritage, National Trust and Historic Houses property on one map, alongside Cadw, Historic Environment Scotland, National Trust for Scotland and Historic Royal Palaces. Plus over 500,000 listed buildings, scheduled monuments and other designated sites from the national registers of England, Wales and Scotland. One app instead of seven, and a record of everywhere you have been. SEE WHAT THE SURFACE HIDES Switch on the LiDAR terrain layer and the shape of the ground appears. Iron Age hillforts under forestry. Deserted medieval villages in empty fields. Centuries of ploughing under old pasture. It is laser-scanned elevation data at one metre resolution, covering England. Two views: the surface with the trees still on it, and the bare earth with them stripped away. Lay the Victorian Ordnance Survey over today's map, swipe between the two or set them side by side, and see what has gone. SEVEN ORGANISATIONS, ONE MAP Over 1,700 properties you can actually visit: - English Heritage - National Trust - Historic Houses - Cadw - Historic Environment Scotland - National Trust for Scotland - Historic Royal Palaces Each of them has its own app, and none of those apps shows you what the others look after. Visit History is the companion app that does. 500,000+ SITES, ACROSS GREAT BRITAIN Three national registers, in full: - England: the National Heritage List, 401,525 entries - Wales: Cadw, 34,359 - Scotland: Historic Environment Scotland, 75,966 Between them: listed buildings, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, battlefields, protected wreck sites and World Heritage Sites. Plus featured places, chosen by us and suggested by the people who use the app. Send us your favourite and we will look at it. SITES ARE AREAS, NOT DOTS Where a designation has a mapped boundary, the map draws it rather than dropping a pin. A hillfort or a country estate covers ground, and now you can see how much.
