Great Britain: A-Z Five Miles to One Inch Wall Maps
Wall maps of Great Britain from Geographers` A-Z Map Company for traditionalists who prefer their maps drawn at scales corresponding to the imperial measurements of miles to inches, with colourful presentation of topography and hill heights in feet.At a scale of 1:316,800 (5 miles to 1 inch), each map covers an extra large area, with the whole of England shown on just three sheets and Scotland presented on a double-sided map extending south to include the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales. Presentation of the topography varies slightly, from bold altitude colouring in older editions to slightly gentler colours enhanced by relief shading on more recent maps, both very effectively showing the more hilly or mountainous parts of the country. All maps have spot heights shown in feet.The colouring of the road network clearly distinguishes between primary routes and other A roads for route planning, with B roads also easy to follow on all backgrounds. Smaller country roads are less clear to see, with the publishers recommending their alternative series for more detailed local coverage. Railway lines are included and shown with stations, but at times difficult to find. British national grid lines are overprinted on the cartography and a separate booklet is supplied containing the index to cities, towns, villages, hamlets and locations with each map.* *IMPORTANT – PLEASE NOTE: many place names and all additional tourist information is in very small lettering, requiring good eyesight or a magnifying glass.** All the titles in this series are also available in folded format and are listed on our website as road maps.
