This dataset provides a structured geospatial and descriptive record of locations of heritage, cultural, historical, natural, and visitor interest across Wales, combining thematic categories, geographic coordinates, projected coordinates, and concise contextual notes. Each entry represents a distinct location selected for its heritage, cultural, historical, natural, industrial, educational, or tourism significance. The dataset is designed to support spatial analysis, cultural and historical geography, tourism studies, and applications in optimisation, routing, and graph-based modelling. Each record includes: unique location identifier and name, thematic category, WGS 84 latitude and longitude (EPSG:4326), WGS 84 / UTM Zone 30N projected eastings and northings (EPSG:32630), a concise contextual note describing the location and its significance. Coordinates are provided in WGS 84 / UTM Zone 30N (EPSG:32630) to enable replicable planar distance calculations, optimisation modelling, clustering, and spatial analysis. The dataset covers a wide range of heritage, cultural, historical, natural, and visitor locations across Wales. It is designed as a compact, analysis-ready resource rather than a comprehensive inventory of every place of interest in Wales. The dataset and accompanying documentation are provided as CSV and Markdown files.
