Mayflower
400 UK have today announced the launch of the Mayflower Self-Guided Tours app, an innovative and informative
free app that provides users with easy to follow self-guided tours of the UK
towns, cities and villages connected to the Mayflower.
App users will enjoy free, guided
walks and driving tours of
each of the villages, towns and cities connected to the Mayflower, which
include Plymouth, Southampton, Rotherhithe,
Dartmouth (Devon), Harwich (Essex), Boston
(Lincolnshire), Scooby & Babworth (Nottinghamshire), Austerfield and Doncaster, Immingham (North East Lincolnshire),
Gainsborough (Lincolnshire), Worcestershire and Leiden (Holland).
The app makes use of GPS to notify
users of nearby places of interest, allowing visitors to follow in the footsteps of the Mayflower Pilgrims and explore
all the stops on the Mayflower trail at their own pace, learning about the
history of the Pilgrims journey through England and Holland and their final
voyage on the Mayflower.
Charles Hackett, Chief Executive Officer - Mayflower 400 comments: “We've launched the app in the build-up to the Mayflower 400
anniversary year to help visitors get the best possible experience from
visiting the sites that tell the stories of the Pilgrims' origins. The app has
been designed to take people on a Mayflower journey, telling the stories behind
the places the Pilgrims were from and where and why they travelled.
“It will help people to discover iconic places on the Mayflower trail -
including the Mayflower Steps in Plymouth and the famous Mayflower Pub on the
cobbled streets of London as well as sharing the stories of the Separatists
including Brewster, Bradford and Clifton in their home towns and villages.
There are excellent tour guides across the Mayflower destinations who can
provide personal informative and insightful guided tours that really bring the
story to life – the app provides visitors with the opportunity to take a tour
in their own time.”
The Mayflower Self-Guided Tours app also
offers access to each of the walking guides offline, so that users can take the
tours in their own time and in any order. To download the free Mayflower self-guided tours app to your device,
