Interactive map celebrates treasured landmarks around England's coast
As part of Historic England's Missing Pieces Project, people are asked to submit photos, drawings, written information or audio recordings about landmarks that hold a special place in their hearts.
This could be a childhood holiday destination or a local landmark that symbolises home.
The map celebrates nearly 300 years of seaside history, from elegant Victorian piers to beloved 20th century amusement parks, among destinations that welcome millions of visitors each year.
Among the landmarks on the map are the Big Dipper at Blackpool Pleasure Beach, which was built in 1923 and is the second oldest in-use rollercoaster in Britain, after the Scenic Railway at Dreamland Amusement Park in Margate, Kent.
The Big Dipper is one of only 37 pre-Second World War wooden rollercoasters worldwide, of which four are at Blackpool Pleasure Beach.
The Pleasure Pier at Southend-on-Sea in Essex, believed to be the longest pier in the world, is also on the map.
It was first constructed in 1889 with later additions and rebuilds.
The art deco, lido Jubilee Pool in Penzance, Cornwall; Bamburgh Castle in Northumberland; De La Warr Pavilion in Bexhill-on-Sea, East Sussex; Peasholm Park in Scarborough, North Yorkshire; and the Palace Pier in Brighton also feature.
Duncan Wilson, chief executive, Historic England, said: 'Our seaside places hold a special place in our national story, yet the full richness of their heritage cannot be captured without the first-hand accounts, images and memories of those who've experienced them.
'I encourage people to contribute to the Missing Pieces Project, so we can all help ensure these treasured coastal landmarks are celebrated.'
Heritage Minister, Baroness Twycross, said: 'Our seaside communities play a huge role in telling our national story.
'I encourage everyone to contribute to the Missing Pieces Project to preserve the history of our coastal towns and breathe new life into their future.'

Two beautiful new walking and cycling trails are now open in Melbourne's southeast
Hiking fans, cyclists, runners and outdoor enthusiasts – we've got good news. Thanks to $5.9 million in funding, Jells Park – a lakeside park in Wheelers Hill – has just welcomed two new shared-use trails, complete with drinking fountains, seating and solar lighting. Stretching for 2.5 kilometres, the first path (the Lake Trail) loops around the Jells Park café and play area with beautiful views of the lake. The five-kilometre Bushland Trail winds through the lush bush – ideal for a longer run if you're keen to really stretch the legs. Developed through consultation with the community, the trails have been designed with accessibility and community needs in mind. Investment in the area has also gone towards improving public spaces, with the sports fields upgraded, two jetties at Jells Park replaced and the Oaks Playground given a glow-up."We're rolling out projects across Jells Park to ensure it remains a cherished place for our community – where families connect, nature is celebrated and memories are made," explained member for Glen Waverley, John to outdoor public spaces in Victoria aren't stopping there – according to the Victorian government, these new upgrades are part of a $24.76 million investment to improve sites managed by Parks Victoria (with a focus on removing and replacing unsafe infrastructure).The paths are open now, so you can get outside and enjoy them this weekend.

UK botanic garden named 'most beautiful in Europe' with over 50,000 plants
Europe's most beautiful botanic gardens have been revealed and one breathtaking attraction in the UK has beaten out rivals thanks to its incredible array of plants Brits looking to get inspired for their next days out may want to consider a trip to London, which has been revealed as the home of 'Europe's most beautiful botanic garden'. The Royal Botanic Gardens in Kew have topped a new list in a study looking at visitor reviews, boasting a perfect score from holidaymakers looking for staycation ideas. Kew is already on most green thumbed Brits' bucket lists. Its new ranking comes after one seaside walk was named the best wildflower trail in the UK. That Kew Gardens is so popular is no surprise. After all, the UNESCO World Heritage Site boasts over 50,000 living plants, not to mention its iconic Victorian glasshouse that's home to 10 climate zones (keep an eye out for the carnivorous plants to be found in the tropical section!). Kew Gardens is already a firm favourite with visitors and it often features on round-ups of 'must-visit' destinations in London. "Completely exceeded our expectations," one happy holidaymaker wrote in a TripAdvisor review. "I can't understand anyone giving this place a low score at all. I like plants, but would not consider myself a big enthusiast, yet found Kew really interesting - a fabulous day out. "The lily building and the Prince of Wales buildings were particularly memorable. Parking was cheap and easy. We took a picnic so can't give any insight regarding food/drink options I'm afraid. We had our two teenage sons with us, who you might not think would enjoy plants/gardens, but it was honestly one of the most enjoyable days out we have had!" The attraction hosts a wide array of events throughout the year too whether that's themed exhibitions, treasure trails for kids, Halloween themed nights or its annual Christmas lights trail. Meanwhile its newly-opened 'Carbon Garden' has been drawing in crowds, with the aim of showcasing the "critical role carbon plays in sustaining life on Earth, communicating the scale of the climate crisis, and sharing the extraordinary potential of the natural world to combat it". If you're already tempted to have a look, then its new crown as Europe's most beautiful botanic garden might help tip the scales in favour of a visit. To determine the best botanic gardens, researchers at Saga Holidays looked at a variety of factors including how often these spots were described as 'beautiful' or 'peaceful', to analyse the 'average sentiment of reviews'. Each garden was given a Weighted Rank by combining its average review sentiment and keyword score equally - and Kew Gardens came top with a perfect score of 100 out of 100. The team behind the study explained: "Crowned Europe's most gorgeous garden, Kew Gardens has almost 85,000 mentions of beauty in its reviews and a perfect weighted rank score of 100, reflecting its popularity and high sentiment among visitors. Home to the world's largest and most diverse collections of plants and fungi, this UNESCO World Heritage Site has over 50,000 different living plants and more than 7 million preserved specimens."

Pretty UK seaside town named one of Europe's 'best kept secrets'
The European Hidden Gem Index ranked 50 of what they described as "Europe's best-kept secrets" - and one UK spot made the top 10 with its historical landmarks and impressive vistas Coastal resorts are a fundamental element of the UK, with countless options scattered throughout the nation. From those featuring pristine stretches of sandy coastline, to destinations complete with Victorian piers and amusements that often transport you to bygone eras, some undoubtedly attract more visitors than others. These locations can become rather crowded during summer months as Britons seek seaside relief, resulting in a less tranquil experience than expected. Venturing to lesser-known destinations and escaping the masses and expensive tourist hotspots can provide a much-needed respite instead, and one UK coastal town has officially been named one of Europe's best kept secrets. HomeToGo has published a list of underrated European towns, cities and villages frequently ignored by holidaymakers that merit exploration, and Beaumaris in Wales cracked the top 10. This comes as a heatwave forecast with maps reveals the exact date a 39C heat plume will scorch the UK. The European Hidden Gem Index named 50 locations as "Europe's best-kept secrets" after assessing destinations according to various criteria including weather, accommodation costs, dining choices and landscape. Situated on the Isle of Anglesey, recently crowned Britain's best island by The Telegraph, the Welsh coastal town received a score of 9.48 out of 10 for its scenery alone. Featuring a fascinating blend of medieval, Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian architecture, HomeToGo described this coastal town as a perfect spot "for the explorer who's enchanted by rugged shorelines, medieval castles, and boat trips to wild islands.", reports the Express. The location boasts a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with Beaumaris Castle built between 1295 and 1330, and although it remains incomplete, it's regularly hailed as a masterpiece and amongst the most impressive Edwardian castles in Wales. Also dubbed the greatest castle never built, it stood as the final and most substantial of the fortifications erected by King Edward I in Wales, and it's still lauded for its almost flawless symmetry. But there's more to explore beyond ancient strongholds, as this charming coastal town sits along the banks of the Menai Strait which divides Anglesey from mainland North Wales. Maritime excursions run by Sea Coast Safaris enable tourists to view Beaumaris from the water, gliding past Victorian piers, the town's exclusive Millionaires Row and The Swellies, recognised as the most treacherous stretch of the Menai Strait. Puffin Island is also accessible from Beaumaris. Called Ynys Seiriol in Welsh, this island serves as a protected sanctuary and nesting site for various seabirds, whilst also housing Atlantic grey seals. With its sand and pebble coastline, those who favour dry land can enjoy Beaumaris Beach, which provides stunning vistas across the Menai Strait towards Snowdonia. Beaumaris is just a two-hour drive from both Manchester and Liverpool, for would-be road-trippers. The nearest railway station is in Bangor, with bus services available to take visitors directly to Menai Bridge.
