Every photo on this site, who took it, and the licence it's used under.

We use royalty-free, openly licensed imagery only — no scraped photos, and nothing lifted from the guidebook, the operators or Google Maps. Where a licence asks for attribution, the photographer is named on the page itself and again here. If you're a photographer and something is credited wrongly or you'd rather it came down, tell us and we'll fix it the same day.
