A visitor guide for the Woodland Trust’s Smithills Estate. Includes guided walking trails, wildlife guide and accessibility information.


The app is GPS enabled. This is used to show you relevant content based on your location. Please note that you do not have to be at Smithills Estate in order to access any of the content in the app.


The app also uses Location Services and Bluetooth Low Energy to determine your location when the app is running in the background. It will trigger notifications when you are close to a location of interest. We have used GPS and Bluetooth Low Energy in a power-efficient way: such as only performing Bluetooth Low Energy scans when you are close to a location that uses bluetooth beacons. However, as with all apps that use location, please note that continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
