Getting here

Stops counted from NaPTAN, the national public transport list.

No base has a train station within 1.5 km.

Base towns are compared by 30-minute drive and walk areas from Valhalla routing over OpenStreetMap. Times from your own home town come next.

Free, and made for the love of the UK

offyougo is free, with no adverts and no paid places. It is made by one person, Pavel, who loves this country, every park, coast, town and back lane of it, and would like people from everywhere on Earth to travel round it more. The servers and the AI that writes the short descriptions cost money every month. If offyougo helped you plan a day out, please consider a one-off gift.

A one-off payment through Stripe, from £2 to £2,000; the receipt comes by email. Or buy Pavel a matcha 🍵 on Ko-fi.
