The Olympic Flame will come within 10 miles of 95% of people in the UK, Isle of Man, Guernsey and Jersey. It will enable local communities to shine a light on the best their area has to offer – including celebrations of local culture, breathtaking landscapes and dynamic urban areas.
The interactive map below shows each of the 1000+ cities, towns and villages the Flame will be carried through, as well as the locations of evening celebrations. See a list of the evening celebration locations by region and date Live in the UK? Enter a postcode in the search box to find out where and when the Flame will be near you.

As well as passing through more than 1,000 communities, the Torch Relay will include some breathtaking spectacles and rather unusual modes of transport.
Horseback, steam train and even a zip wire are all in the plans, with more to be announced between now and 18 May.
