The story
About this print
A personalised map of anywhere in England, Wales or Scotland, printed from real Ordnance Survey mapping and finished with your names and a line of text, such as a date or the place name. Mark the walk where you got engaged, the village you grew up in, your first home, or the fell you finally climbed.
Real Ordnance Survey mapping at true scale
Every print uses genuine Ordnance Survey Explorer cartography, printed at 300 dpi, so footpaths, contours, field walls and woodland are crisp enough to trace with a finger. The standard scale is 1:25,000, where 4 cm on the print is 1 km on the ground. The scale stays true on every size: a bigger print shows more ground, never a stretched map. For a whole valley, island or long walk, ask for 1:50,000 (Ordnance Survey Landranger) in the order notes. It shows four times the area with a little less detail.
