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.
They came from Geograph Britain and Ireland, a project photographing every square kilometre of these islands, and Wikimedia Commons. We are grateful to both, and to the photographers.
This page covers the hero, location and article photography — every Creative Commons photograph on the site. Photographs of individual places to stay are not Creative Commons: they come from each property’s Booking.com listing and remain the property of the owners or of Booking.com, so they are not listed here.
