Product overview

Heritage Great Britain operates a portfolio of iconic UK visitor attractions and heritage destinations, functioning as a multi-attraction leisure and tourism company rather than a unified software platform. The portfolio includes Land's End (flagship attraction with 4D cinema, Aardman experience, and adventure golf), Snowdon Mountain Railway (UK's only rack and pinion railway), Royal Liver Building 360 (immersive Liverpool landmark tour), The Needles Landmark Attraction (Isle of Wight), Sandham Gardens (family activity park), and John O'Groats (Scottish coastal destination). Accommodation offerings include the Land's End Hotel (33 rooms), Penwith Studios, Saddle and Stable Rooms apartments, and First and Last Inn. These attractions operate independently with no unified platform or software product connecting them.
