Exactly 25 years ago today, on 24th May 1999 - AboutBritain.com went live.

In a world before blogging, where people used Alta Vista to search the web, we were among the first to publish information and photos of hundreds of British tourist attractions online.

Over the past 25 years, we've helped millions of people plan their holidays and days out in Britain and enjoy precious time with family and friends.

AboutBritain.com is a family business and we're incredibly proud of what the team has achieved in our first 25 years.

We have lots of exciting developments in the pipeline that we can't wait to share with you as we look forward to our next 25 years!
