Sam - it's not the UK, but Caherconnell Stone Fort in the Burren, Ireland have been piloting a mobile guide which is transmitted to visitors' mobile phones. (See http://www.burrenforts.ie/mobile_guide.php).
The project was a collaboration with the University of Limerick and mobile apps developer Mobanode.
If you are interested, I can put you in contact with the guys involved - we are now looking at projects to develop it further to include integration with school learning platforms.
All the best
Martyn
