Olympic and Paralympic venues outside London


The 2012 Games are not just about London! Numerous other locations in the UK will host Olympic and Paralympic events, Training Camps or even the Torch Relay.

The UK has a great sporting heritage. Out of the town of Much Wenlock came the 'inspiration for the modern Olympic Games' and Stoke Mandeville was birthplace of the Paralympic Games.

Blue Badge Tourist Guides can show you Olympic venues throughout the UK as well as other places of sporting, historic, scenic and cultural interest.
Contact Tour Guides Limited to discuss the requirements for your group.
