UK Information Links

Fancy yourself as a bit of a trainspotter, then RailUK is the perfect website for all passengers, operators and rail enthusiasts.

Delve into the past and experience The Mary Rose Trust incorporating detailed accounts of the infamous Mary Rose aswell as a virtual tour of the museum itself.

Check out this website for a rich historical, cultural and social tour of Cornwall.

UK Guide- it's a treasure trove of information about Britain grouped by major cities and towns. At the moment, it's heavily biased towards university towns, unsurprisingly, since the universities are the earliest users of the Internet and its users are more likely to donate their time to describe their locale.

There's also City Net which isn't based in the UK or maintained by Brits, but has lots of links to information from around the world including lots of stuff about the UK

Similarly,Yahoo is not British, nor is it particularly British-oriented but it is the web's best overall index, covering everything under the sun, including The UK.

If you're planning a trip to Britain, why not check out The British Tourist Authority's fab web site. It's jam packed with practical information on where to go and what to do

United Kingdom Pages are a set of pages with hundreds of links maintained by a dedicated American anglophile. The quality of the information and its presentation can be... well... variable, but its the only place I've seen to date with JPEGs of The Queen and Royal Family online, which alone must make it worth a mention!

SunSite Northern Europe hosts what should be the most complete (but still very approximate) list of UK WWW servers, divided into five categories.

The University of Wolverhampton has produced an experimental Dewey Decimal-based index. Unfortunately, both this and the index above are very patchy and inaccurate. There is no equivalent of Yahoo that just covers British sites.

The UK government claims to be second in the world in its presence on the net. CCTA Government Information Service is its central Web server. It's a bit sketchy at the moment, but it's very popular and growing all the time. You'll find links to local and central goverment departments, and also to the EC. By the end of 1995 the CCTA expects there will be an individual Web server for each government department; a search engine is being designed for the central server that will allow searches across the lot - you can already test it here.
