Question Title

* 4. What do you like about having QR codes at UK heritage locations? (tick all that apply)

They are relatively easy to scan so I can access information online quickly and easily whenever I choose

I can see they could add useful additional knowledge at key places to add benefit to a heritage visit

I like using applications that I have installed on my phone / device, and I find it fun to scan QR codes

I can bookmark and save the links from the QR codes to look at later on if I'm in a hurry when I pass them

My access is limited to some locations so QR codes would help me see more about places I can't go

I sometimes have a dog or children with me so can see more about a heritage location if I can't visit it

My children like QR codes and find it interesting to scan them on their phones and view the web links
