4.0 out of 5 stars OS touring map of UK with ancient sites marked, 20 Dec 2008
By M. littler "mike62099" (Cheshire, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Ancient Britain (Historical Map) (Map)
The map is pretty much what you expect of a UK touring map coloured to indicate heights (green - brown), but with the modern road information all changed to a light grey to make it less obtrusive. Ancient sites are then marked in coloured symbols and words. The map is double sided with the South on one side and the North on the other, split near Kendal

I find the greyed out information still obtrusive, and the ancient site information is not as easilly visible as I might have liked. To be fair though, I dont think you could do a lot better without removing all of the modern information, which then might make it difficult to pinpoint the ancient sites.

The ancient information also includes Roman and Early Medieval, each colour coded. Bronze age information in orangey brown is not strikingly evident in the hills, which are also orangey brown. It takes a few minutes to get used to.

It would probably be better suited to electronic publishing, where you could choose to switch on and off different information, to give you clearer views of what you were looking for.

4.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful, 3 Dec 2003
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!
