Image credits

Every photo on this site is a real, licensed photo. They are listed page by page: who took each one, its licence, where it comes from and what we changed. A photo used on more than one page is listed under each of them.

Some photos come from Pexels.

One exception: the small cover photos of places to eat and drink and of attractions are not ours and are not on this list. They load straight from Google Maps, each marked "Photo: Google Maps" and linked to that place's Google Maps listing.

Illustrations made with AI

Some backgrounds, textures and map decorations on this site are made with AI, and so are the illustrated posters. The decorations never stand for how a place looks. Each poster is a picture of a plan, drawn by AI from this guide's own checked data (names, order, drive times) and checked against that data before it went up. The maps drawn to scale on each page are the accurate ones. Every AI image is listed here.
