About Britain Adventures

Our Possible Earnings Explained

Britain Adventures is independent and free to read. Here is exactly how the site may earn money through partner links – what that means for you, and what we will never do.

The short version

Britain Adventures is an independent website. There is no tourist board, no government grant and no media company behind it. We write the guides, take most of the photographs and pay for the hosting ourselves. To keep the site free for you, some links and boxes on our pages are partner links: if you book a tour, a hotel or a service through them, the partner may pay us a small commission.

  • You never pay more because you booked through our link – the price is the same as on the partner's own site.
  • Partner links are clearly placed – mainly the tour boxes in the "Tours and experiences" sections, and hotel and travel-service boxes.
  • Our opinions are not for sale. No partner sees or approves our texts before they are published.
  • No Google Ads. We do not run Google's advertising on this site.

How we may earn money

Tours and experiences (Viator)

Most of our place guides end with a box of tours from Viator, a Tripadvisor company. If you book a tour from that box, Viator pays us a commission out of its own share – typically a single-digit percentage of the booking. If you cancel within the free-cancellation period, we earn nothing. Entrance fees are included in the tour price; tips are not included but are always welcome.

Hotels and travel bookings

Some pages carry hotel or travel boxes and links from partners such as Expedia and Stay22, or from travel brands we work with through the Travelpayouts partner network. If you book through them, we may receive a commission at no extra cost to you.

Money transfers

We recommend Wise for sending and spending money abroad at a fair exchange rate. Some Wise links on our pages are partner links; if you open an account through them, we may receive a referral payment.

Desktop partner adverts

On larger screens you may see a small side advert for one of our partners – for example our web host. We choose these ourselves and keep them off mobile screens so they do not get in the way of reading.

Our own work

The site is also supported by our own photography – prints and licensing, see castle photography: prints and licensing – and by the web design and photography services of its founder.

How much does this earn? Honestly: not a lot. For an independent site, commissions from a few bookings a month help pay for hosting, software, travel and the time needed to keep information up to date. That is what "possible earnings" means here – possible, not guaranteed, and nothing like the income of the large travel portals.

What we never do

  • We never accept payment for a positive review or a better ranking. When a castle is overpriced or a beach is overcrowded, we say so – partner or not.
  • We never publish sponsored articles disguised as our own opinion.
  • We never sell your personal data or your email address.
  • We prefer partner boxes placed by hand on the pages where they fit, and we have switched off automatic link replacement for our main travel partners.
  • We never invent names, quotes or "experts". Where we use facts, we check them against official and first-hand sources and name them.

What it means for you

You are free to read everything on Britain Adventures without booking anything. If you find a tour or hotel through our pages and book it elsewhere, that is fine too. But if our guides helped you and you book through our links, you support an independent voice that tells the honest story of Britain – including the history that ties it to Africa – at no extra cost to yourself. Thank you.

Prices in our guides are rounded and can change at any time. Always check the official website of an attraction or the partner's booking page before you pay.

Cookies and tracking

When you click a partner link, the partner may set a cookie in your browser so that it can tell a booking came from us. These cookies are set and controlled by the partner under its own privacy policy, not by us. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time; the partner's prices and services stay the same either way.

Questions?
