Independent travel guides to distinctive destinations
Lively Media publishes a growing collection of independent travel websites covering destinations across the UK and Europe.
Our publications are designed to help visitors make better decisions about where to stay, what to see and do, how to get around, and how to make the most of their time in each destination.
Rather than trying to cover everywhere, each website concentrates on a particular place or region, with practical destination information, accommodation guidance, activities, transport advice, itineraries and local travel inspiration.

How We Publish
Each Lively Media travel publication has its own destination, audience and editorial focus.
Our aim is to create useful, long-term travel resources rather than generic websites covering hundreds of destinations. We concentrate on practical information that can help travellers make decisions: where to stay, how to travel, what is worth seeing and how different areas and experiences compare.
Where destinations naturally overlap, our publications may also refer readers to relevant specialist information elsewhere within the Lively Media network.
Work With Lively Media
Lively Media manages commercial partnerships across its travel publications.
We welcome relevant enquiries from accommodation providers, visitor attractions, tour and activity operators, transport businesses, tourism organisations and selected travel brands.
Opportunities may include advertising, sponsorship, affiliate partnerships and campaigns across one or more Lively Media travel publications.
Commercial relationships do not determine our editorial recommendations, and paid or sponsored activity is identified appropriately.
