A LAKE District tourist attraction has embraced an app which can act as an interactive visitor guide.

Cruise operating company Ullswater Steamers have adopted the app 'WishTrip', an online platform that acts as a visitor guide for attractions and landmarks all over the world, and lets people create "interactive travel albums" that can be easily shared.

The app comes to life when the user is on site, providing information on the location as well as walking routes and trails in the surrounding area.

Ullswater Steamers have uploaded several walking routes already, providing key points to look out for on the waymarked Ullswater Way.

“We are excited to be one of the first attractions in the area to be using WishTrip,” says Lisa Braithwaite, attractions marketing and events manager at Ullswater Steamers.

“It’s aimed at independent travellers who are tech savvy and want the freedom to instantly share their experiences with others or get recommendations from peers.

"It replaces our older walking app and we are encouraging our visitors to give it a go and share their Lake District holiday memories.”
