Look down

Tap once and the screen sinks through the centuries to something real near you. Every place within 3 km becomes a layer in your column of time, from today down to bedrock.

Lost villages and legends

Deserted medieval villages, towns swallowed by the sea, and legends. Each comes with an evidence line: Verified, Approximate, Disputed, Lost or Legend. We always say which is which.

Alerts on your walk

Start a walk and put the phone in your pocket. Lost Places tells you when you're 200 m from a place worth seeing, using GPS alone, even in airplane mode.

Offline

England's sites and stories are about 16 MB and the Republic of Ireland's about 56 MB; the detailed map is an optional extra. Downloads resume if they're cut off.

Respect the past

Lost Places never marks a spot to dig or search. Legends and lost treasure are shown only as soft areas of several kilometres. Protected monuments are clearly marked.

Free, or Explorer once

Free: the column wherever you stand, one country offline and three walks with alerts. Explorer is a one-time £4.99 for both countries, unlimited walks and every era. No subscription, no ads, no account.
