Photography Credits
The town and hero photographs on this site are real Creative Commons photographs, taken by the people named below and used under the licences shown. None of them are AI-generated. Where a licence requires attribution, that is what this page is for — and each licence name links to the licence itself.
Most came from Wikimedia Commons and Geograph Britain and Ireland, a project photographing every square kilometre of these islands. We are grateful to both, and to the photographers.
This page covers the location and hero photography. Photographs of individual places to stay come from their Booking.com listings and remain the property of the owners or of Booking.com.
