The A-Z Adventure series features the accuracy and quality of the
1:25000 OS mapping in a convenient book, complete with index. The
A-Z Adventure series is an innovative concept that utilises
Ordnance Survey 1:25000 mapping in a book, therefore eliminating
the need to fold and re-fold a large sheet map to the desired area.
OS 1:25000 is Ordnance Survey's most detailed mapping, showing
public rights of way, open access land, national parks, tourist
information, car parks, public houses and camping and caravan
sites. Unlike the original OS sheets, this A-Z Adventure Atlas
includes a comprehensive index to towns, villages, hamlets and
locations, natural features, nature reserves, car parks and youth
hostels, making it quick and easy to use. Each index entry has a
page reference and a six figure National Grid Reference. At a book
size of 240mm x 134mm it is the same size as the standard folded OS
map. This A-Z Adventure Atlas of Exmoor covers the whole 267 square
miles of Exmoor National Park. From high coastal heaths in the
north to open moorland and wooded valleys to the south, this
uniquely diverse landscape is just waiting to be explored. This A-Z
Adventure Atlas of Exmoor features 64 pages of continuous Ordnance
Survey mapping covering: *Coombe Martin *Dunster *Dulverton *Exmoor
National Park *Lynton *Minehead *Porlock Also featured is advice
about safety and security when walking or mountain biking and a
selection of QR codes linked to useful websites. This A-Z Adventure
Atlas has the accuracy and quality of OS 1:25000 mapping indexed
within a book, making it the perfect companion for walkers,
off-road cyclists, horse riders and anyone wishing to explore the
great outdoors.
Whether you are watching small birds at your garden bird feeder or
a raptor soaring overhead, birds are everywhere. But could you
recognise a Marsh Tit from a Coal Tit? Or distinguish between a
Song Thrush and a Redwing? These are just a handful of the array of
birds that are attracted to the UK's gardens to nest and feed. RSPB
ID Spotlight Garden Birds is a reliable fold-out chart that
presents illustrations of 39 of our most widespread and familiar
garden birds by renowned artist Stephen Message. - Species are
grouped by family and helpfully labelled to assist with
identification - Artworks are shown side by side for quick
comparison and easy reference at home or in the field - The reverse
of the chart provides information on the habitats, behaviour, life
cycles and diets of our garden birds, as well as the conservation
issues they are facing and how the RSPB is working to support them
- Practical tips on how to make your own 'bird pastry' and put up
nest boxes are also included The ID Spotlight charts help wildlife
enthusiasts identify and learn more about our most common species
using accurate colour illustrations and informative, accessible
text.
The year is 1973 and changes are afoot in Great Yarmouth and
Brokencliff-on-Sea as the New Year comes in with bang! Return to a
simpler time when family holidays at the seaside were still fun and
electronic devices had never been heard of. The only sound that was
heard was the gentle lapping of the waves, the gulls circling
above, and the trot of the horse's hooves along the promenade and
music from the funfairs.
This guidebook presents 30 walks in the New Forest in Hampshire and
Wiltshire, Britain's smallest National Park. Easily accessible from
Southampton, Bournemouth, Salisbury and Winchester, the New Forest
encompasses varied landscapes, from ancient woodlands to open
heaths, rivers and coastline. Routes of between 5 and 16km (3 and
10 miles) explore the Forest, mainly on fairly flat terrain, often
on well-defined tracks and paths. Most walks are suitable for all
the family and many can be combined to make longer outings. Each
walk is described in detail, highlighting the many points of
interest in this area - ancient sites and castles, picture postcard
villages with thatched cottages or historic churches - with
fascinating background detail. An extract of 1:25,000 OS mapping
makes each route easy to follow, and suggestions for refreshment
stops like pubs and tea rooms are included. All walks offer a good
chance of seeing wildlife, including the famous New Forest ponies.
This area has been protected and nurtured by ancient laws for over
900 years, and is the largest remaining area of lowland heath in
Europe. It is this sense of history and the unique patchwork of
habitats that make walking in the New Forest National Park such a
rewarding experience.
