How do I set the location and map for my Experience?
Location is handled in the Address tab, and it's one of the simplest fields to set up — the DCMS does most of the work for you.
How it works
Go to the Address tab on your Experience entry
Use the Search for a location box to find the Experience's address
Selecting a result fills in the address fields automatically — Full Address, Name/Number, Street Address, Town/City, Postcode, County, State, and Country
A map with a pin automatically appears, showing the location
You don't need to build or embed a map yourself — it's generated directly from the address you search for.
Adjusting the pin
If the exact address doesn't quite match where the Experience actually starts or takes place — for example, a trailhead that's a short distance from the nearest postal address, or a meeting point rather than a building — you can adjust the pin's position on the map directly, so visitors are directed to the right spot rather than just the nearest addressable location.
Why getting this right matters
It's often the deciding factor for a visitor working out whether an Experience is convenient for them, or how it fits alongside other things they're planning to do nearby
An accurate pin means visitors arrive at the right spot on the day, rather than a nearby building or the wrong end of a car park
Location also feeds into how your Experience appears on your destination's landing pages, alongside your pricing and categories
A note on shared locations
If several of your Experiences take place at or near the same location — for example, multiple activities based at one outdoor centre — it's still worth setting the Address individually for each Experience, and adjusting the pin if needed, rather than assuming visitors will find a shared starting point through a different listing.
💡 Top Tip: If your Experience starts somewhere without a conventional street address — a car park, a viewpoint, a specific gate onto a trail — search for the nearest known address first, then drag the pin to the exact starting point. This is usually far more precise than trying to describe the location in words alone.
