This map is wonderful for putting into context a lot of historical monuments, those you know well, and a lot you've heard of but can't place. It's well put together with all the plus points of an ordnance survey map making places easy to find. It's also so lovely to look at I'm thinking of putting it on my wall!

If you're looking for a map that gives you all the known Roman sites in a particular area, then this map will be very useful. I was slightly disappointed to discover that it can't be used as a wall poster, because Scotland & Northern England appear on the back. There is also a lot of additional information printed around the sides of the map and, although this is probably of interest to some, I would have preferred a more traditional map of the UK with less of the fashionable multimedia-style trimmings.

I bought this map after having exhausted the Cotswold walks in another book. As all OS maps, it's accurate, detailed and eminently readable. The Cotswolds are a wonderful area to walk in and this map will provide you with ways to experience that while avoiding the overcrowded tourist traps. Having all of the Cotswolds on one map is really helpful, particularly if you spend a whole week or more there. Get this map, bring your compass and your set for a great walking holiday. You won't need any books with walks.

This is the best map you can buy for walking in the area. (Unless it's raining in which case get the plastic coated one). Only one criticism, the way the Ordnance Survey have the annoying habit of calling the area 'The English Lakes' when everybody else calls it 'The Lake District'.

These maps are really useful when walking. I took this map on a Duke of Edinburgh expedition in the Peak District and it didn't stop raining. The other two maps we took fell apart, even in "waterproof" cases, but this map was brilliant and shows no signs of wear and tear.

It hardly seems necessary to write a review of an Ordinance Survey map, but for anyone not familiar with them, these Explorer maps offer a detailed plan of the countryside, indicating contours, paths, features (and dangers) in full colour. Absolutely essential for anyone planning to walk in the hills, or even the low levels - OS maps provide you with a route planner, a ready source of information, and an intriguing read! Simply studying maps will help you understand the history of the locale and bring questions to mind which you might care to unravel by a walk in the landscape ... and a walk to your local library.
As I say, a review of Ordinance Survey seems superfluous, yet the maps are far more enduring and far more fascinating than ... Read More:
