Historic sites near me

Pick the nearest town and see what is actually there: the listed buildings, scheduled monuments, registered parks and organisation-run properties within 10 miles of the centre. Every figure is counted from the national registers, not estimated.

What is on the map

Visit History puts every one of these on a single map, alongside LiDAR terrain and six editions of Ordnance Survey mapping going back to 1885. There is no need to know which organisation looks after a place before you can find it.

The first three are counted across all three national registers: the National Heritage List for England, Cadw in Wales and Historic Environment Scotland. The last covers the National Trust, English Heritage, Historic Houses, Historic Royal Palaces, Cadw, Historic Environment Scotland and the National Trust for Scotland. Both counted on 12 October 2026.

Forty-two towns and cities across England, Wales and Scotland, with what sits within 10 miles of each.

Your town is not on the list

These forty-two are a starting point, not the coverage. The map itself works anywhere in Britain and finds your position without being told where you are, so it will show what is around you whether or not there is a page for it here.
