Our Map of the Month for August is not just one map, we are excited to introduce the first five maps in a brand new series that will soon cover the whole of the UK.
Cycle Maps UK are produced at a scale of 1:100 000 showing important features including the National cycle Network. Sections on road, off road and traffic free are all shown in differing colours along with their route number. Other roads and their classification are shown enabling you to link rides or explore sections and discover new routes at home or further afield.
Facilities such as toilets, pubs, accommodation, bike shops, repair stations and railway stations are all shown. The mapping also has relief shading giving you a clear picture of the terrain (and steepness of any hills) you will encounter. They’re double sided so each map covers a huge amount of territory.
Made of recycled plastic to make them tear and water resistant. They perfectly fit a cycling pocket when folded down.
Here are the first five maps with an image showing coverage and an example of a section of each map to give you an idea of the topography and detail (click on images to see in full):
