in some cases, comprehensive nationwide lists of sites.
UK sites may be listed again according to their geographic location within the United Kingdom.

The Society and Culture section covers a broad range of subjects about people''s relationships with and experiences of themselves, each other and the universe, past present and future.
Notice to those submitting sites: this category is for sites that are best described as being relevant to the Society and Culture (in general, not specific) of the United Kingdom as a whole.
If your site does not meet the above description, but is relevant to a specific part of the broad category of Society and Culture or is of interest only to a specific region of the UK, then it belongs in that part of the directory. For example, a study of the effects of radio emissions on children in your village might belong here, but the fete would attract more traffic if listed locally.
Recall that every site submitted is categorised by at least one editor, often more. Moving sites that are submitted in the wrong place to where they belong takes time, sometimes considerable time. You are therefore strongly advised to take a few minutes to choose the most applicable category for your submission. If necessary, read about dmoz: it will repay dividends in your use of the directory as well as potentially getting your site listed a lot sooner. This effort put into placing each site is for the benefit of users. Please try making the same effort when you submit: you might like it so much you consider becoming an editor (you should apply for a small category at first).
United Kingdom transportation resources: - for those travelling to and from, and within the region; - transportation business.
Please only submit your site here if it offers information or services relating to transport in the United Kingdom.
Please ensure that you choose the most appropriate subcategory. Incorrect submissions will most likely delay the site being reviewed and may result in deletion.
Sites relating to travel and tourism in the UK.
This may include sites relating to tourism resources within the UK and sites for UK residents who are researching and booking trips abroad.
Submitting to Travel and Tourism
Commercial sites that do not offer services to UK residents should be submitted to the main Travel category or its relevant subcategories.
If your site is relevant to a regional category linked from the Travel and Tourism category please submit your site there. Please do not submit to multiple categories within Travel and Tourism, if you are unsure where your site belongs or there is not an appropriate category then submit to the main UK Travel and Tourism
category and editors will place your site in the most appropriate place.
For Editors
Commercial services should go in the appropriate category eg Tour Companies, Transport etc.
Regional specific sites would be better served in their correct regional category, this avoids overlaps and allows regional editors to give us the benefit of their local expertise. Not all Regional categories have an appropriate category for Tourism sites, hopefully we can encourage regional editors to create a category that we can @link to from the main Travel and Tourism category. Be prepared to liaise with regional editors on this issue.
Only sites offering Accommodation for the whole of UK should be submitted here. If your Accommodation is only for a specific area then it should be submitted to the local directories. E.G. Accommodation in Scotland should be submitted to Regional: UK: Scotland: Travel and Tourism: Lodging Accommodation in Wales should be submitted to Regional: UK: Wales: Travel and Tourism: Accommodation Accommodation in Northern Ireland should be submitted to UK: Northern Ireland: Travel and Tourism If it is a single location in England then it should be submitted to the County Directories. Regional: UK: England : County Tour Companies should submit to Regional: UK: Travel and Tourism: Tour Companies
