In these presets
Heritage
Recorded monuments, notification zones and the NIAH survey of buildings: the evidence base, not the statutory list. Records of Protected Structures and Architectural Conservation Areas (Part IV, Planning and Development Act 2000) are held by the 31 local authorities and are not published nationally, so they are not in the app.
Visiting
Waymarked trails, monuments worth a journey and clean water to swim in.
