It seems like there's a gap for a mapping application focussed around discovery. Google maps and the like expect you to know what you are looking for. I want an application that will show me what interesting towns, villages, churches, museums, beaches etc. there are around me whilst travelling.

Does anyone know if something like this already exists?

I have some ideas for how I would implement it myself but I thought I'd check what else is already out there.
