Terms of use

Last updated 12 November 2026

These terms cover your use of Hidden Britain Atlas, run by Cale Mills in the United Kingdom. By using the site you agree to them. If anything is unclear, use the contact page.

Using the map

The stories, places and trails are for interest and enjoyment. We work hard to keep them accurate, but history, legend and folklore are full of different accounts, and things change. Opening times, access and ownership can change without warning.

Staying safe when you visit

• Many places are on private land. Only visit where there's public access or you have permission, and follow the Countryside Code.
• Check opening times, tides, weather and access before you set off. Caves, cliffs, moors, mines and coasts can be dangerous.
• Never enter closed buildings, ruins, tunnels or mines.
• Don't dig, use metal detectors without permission, or remove anything from a site. Many are protected by law.

You visit any place at your own risk. We can't be responsible for injury, loss or damage from visiting a place listed on the site.

Your account

Keep your password safe and don't share your account. You must be 13 or over to create an account. We may close accounts that are used to break these terms or abuse the site.

Free sites and your location

Free members can read the stories for the five places nearest their home, plus the Mystery of the Week. Once a free member confirms their home location, it's locked for 28 days. Premium members can change their location at any time.

Premium

• Monthly and yearly Premium renew automatically until you cancel. You can cancel at any time, and Premium carries on until the end of the period you've paid for.
• Lifetime Premium is a one-off payment for as long as Hidden Britain Atlas is running.
• Prices are shown on the Premium page and include VAT where it applies.
• Under UK consumer law you normally have 14 days to change your mind about a digital service. Because Premium starts as soon as you join, you agree that it starts straight away. If you're unhappy, contact us and we'll be fair about refunds.

Gift codes

A gift code gives Premium for the time shown on it and can be used once. Codes can't be exchanged for cash. If a code doesn't work, use the contact page and we'll sort it out.

Reports, photos and ratings you send

• Only send photos you took yourself, and only write about things you saw or heard.
• Don't send anything rude, hateful, illegal or untrue, or anything that shows or names private people without their agreement.
• By sending a report or photo, you allow Hidden Britain Atlas to show it on the site and in posts about the site, with your first name if you gave one. You still own your photo.
• We check reports and photos before they appear, and we may edit, decline or remove any of them.
