‘Beauty Spot’ focus – celebrating Green Spaces

To celebrate the magnificent ‘beauty spots’ we’ve mapped in Preston we’re creating a booklet of lovely moments you’ve had in the cities green spaces. We’d love you to send us your brief (max 500 words) written accounts of these experiences. Also we want to surround these descriptions with beautiful photo’s that you’ve captured in your local park, nature reserve, woodland etc. JPEG, PNG, DocX or PDF’s are all fine. Click here to upload your material. Thanks.

We’re also filming in these spaces and recording regular users commentary about the beauty spots to create a celebratory film. Both will be showcased at an event in January 2026. For more information email us on dave@yourmaponline.co.uk or call Chris on 07971 641824 for a chat.

How to use the website

Click on your ward maps below to take you to the page where you can see all of the various assets to be found where you live. These might be an activity, voluntary groups, a venue, a locally grown business, an individual, a potential opportunity, a service or a place of interest or beauty. Each of which brings some kind of benefits to you as a local resident or your friends & family around you. The idea here is that we celebrate all of the good stuff in your area and also make sure that you know what is out there if you need any help or want to try something new.

Local Citizen Researchers have been out and about looking for these assets but it’s early days for the maps – so if you know of any locally focussed assets not on your map yet, please contact us on yourmaponline@gmail.com and we’ll put it on there. Thanks.
