Britain is full of brilliant roads, hidden behind every motorway exit. Tell brieflylost where you're going in plain English, and it'll find you the lanes, B-roads, and twisty climbs worth taking the long way for.
brieflylost doesn't just find the fastest route. It finds the one you'll actually remember.
Describe your trip in plain English. brieflylost avoids motorways and prefers B-roads and quiet country lanes — the long way round, not the boring one.
Ask for a coffee stop, a country pub, or somewhere with a view — brieflylost routes through real places, not just markers on a map.
Sketch a route in advance and share it with a link, or just set off and let the app pick the way as you go.
Spoken directions, lane assistance, and automatic re-routing if you take a wrong turn — like the apps you already use, just on a more interesting road.
Designed for country B-roads, scenic A-roads, and Highland passes. Lake District, Cotswolds, Scottish Highlands, Snowdonia, the South Downs.
Send a planned route to friends with a single link — they preview the journey on the web, then open it directly in the app.
Just describe where you want to go and how you want to feel getting there.
