The more categories you appear in, as long as they are facilities you have, the greater the opportunity for your attraction to be seen by our visitors.
What are the categories?
This is the way we categorise your attraction on our site from the more obvious type (castle, garden, restaurant) to whether you have wheelchair access, are an all year around weather attraction or what children ages it is appropriate for.
