OS Explorer is the Ordnance Survey's most detailed map and is
recommended for anyone enjoying outdoor activities like walking,
horse riding and off-road cycling. The OS Explorer range now
includes a digital version of the paper map, accessed through the
OS smartphone app, OS Maps. Providing complete GB coverage the
series details essential information such as youth hostels, pubs
and visitor information as well as rights of way, permissive paths
and bridleways.
The map will be great for: imagining; planning journeys; drawing
on; using as a companion to the website; marking Slow Ways you plan
to walk; recording routes you have walked; learning about active
travel in schools; making walls look fantastic! It is a two-sided
giant, colourful and functional map. Slow Ways is an initiative to
create a network of walking routes that connect all of Great
Britain's towns and cities as well as thousands of villages and
every national park. People can use the routes to walk between
neighbouring places or combine routes to travel over longer
distances. Slow Ways was kick-started during the first lockdown
with hundreds of volunteers suggesting thousands of routes. There
are now over 8,000 routes in the network that cover over 120,000km.

make sure they are good enough to be in the network. Enough work
has now been done to publish our first printed map of the network

journeys.
The A-Z Adventure series features the accuracy and quality of OS
1:25000 mapping in a convenient book, complete with index. An
innovative concept, the A-Z Adventure series 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 easy to find the required location quickly. 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. The South West Coast Path is a National

mapping covering the SW Coast Path from Lyme Regis, following the

from the many other footpaths, the path is easy to identify. In

sandstone ridge, or across parklands, or through the remnants of
the medieval forests, a superb choice of peaceful canal walks and,
