New in May
Get out and about in Snowdonia or south-west England this summer! We are revising our three OS Explorer Map titles covering Snowdonia National Park – OL17, OL18 and OL23. Featuring information to help you explore and enhance your outdoor activities, they are the perfect accompaniment for walking, cycling, climbing and much more.
Revised mapping
We are also revising many of our OS Explorer Maps in the south-west, including titles OL9 (Exmoor), OL28 (Dartmoor), 106 (Nequay and Padstow), 107 (St Austell and Liskeard) and 139 (Bideford, Ilfracombe & Barnstaple). These maps contain a wealth of tourist information to enhance your enjoyment of the outdoors and are available in paper and encapsulated Active formats from late May.
A revised edition of OS Landranger Map 200, covering Newquay, Bodmin, Camelford and St Austell, is also now available. OS Landranger Maps are ideal for planning days out and short breaks. They cover an area of 40 km by 40 km and include roads, rights of way and selected tourist information. The 200 is also available as a OS Landranger Map – Active. The Active maps are encapsulated and will stand up to adverse weather conditions.
