HISTORY

Where Three Centuries Welcome You Home

You're standing where visitors have paused for nearly 300 years. That first moment when the hall reveals itself through the lime avenue.

Most guests see a fraction of your grounds.

They stick to the main path and miss everything else. Not because they don't care, but because nobody showed them where to look.

Bramble is a story map crafted around your landscape. Stories, history, and hidden corners unlock as guests walk. No guided tour. No download. Just a quiet, personal exploration that turns your grounds into the experience.

Three simple steps.

We do the heavy lifting. You bring the local knowledge. Together, we build something your guests won't forget.

Step One

We Walk Your Grounds

Together, we explore your estate and choose the moments that matter: the ancient oak, the hidden folly, the view your returning guests already love.

Step Two

We Shape the Stories

You know your place best. Share the history, the folklore, the details guests should discover. We'll turn them into rich, layered stories with photos, text, and audio.

Step Three

Guests Explore

A QR code at reception. Guests scan, open the map, and wander. Stories appear as they arrive at each spot. No delays. Just discovery.

Wander freely. Discover everything.

No rigid route. No audio guide to rewind. Your guests choose their own path, and the landscape reveals itself as they go.

No App Required

Opens instantly in any mobile browser. Scan a QR code, tap a link, or find it on your guest WiFi portal. Nothing to install, nothing to learn.

Stories Find You

Stories unlock as guests arrive at each point of interest. The map knows where they are and reveals the right story at the right moment.

Rich Storytelling

Photos, written narratives, audio. Each spot tells a story worth stopping for. History, ecology, seasonal notes, local lore.

Seasonal Updates

Your grounds change through the year. So can your map. Swap in spring wildflower routes, autumn colour walks, or winter wildlife trails.

A map that tells stories.

Guests open the map on their phone. As they walk your grounds, points of interest appear. Tap one and a story unfolds: history, nature, a secret only locals know.

The blue dot is them. The pins are your stories. Every step reveals something new.
