Description:

Adds 368 UK attractions as specified by ALVA (Association of Leading Visitor Attractions).
This is by no means an exhaustive list – many attractions will be missing, this is a single source list.

Data sources

The source data can be found on ALVA’s page here [www.alva.org.uk] (uses visitor numbers for 2023).

Locations are manually populated using data from OpenStreetMap and Google Maps. The locations are the best effort estimate: most will be bang on the landmark, others might be in the middle of e.g. landmark park, and others are a bit woolly as the location itself might be strewn around the place.

If a place is wrong feel free to comment with the correct/better location.

Data transformation

Visitor numbers are divided by 365 to get a daily visitor number.

Then, the following demand curves/thresholds apply:

LOD are specified as such:

  • Local landmark: LOD level 0
  • Regional/national landmark: LOD level 1
  • International landmark: LOD level 2

Each UK region has its own colour to slightly distinguish landmarks from each other.
