Great Britain Regional Travel Maps. 1:200,000 - 1:300,000.

This series of nine road maps provides a particularly clear presentation of the road network, including speed cameras, and places of interest. Street plans of main towns highlight parking facilities.

AA's regional road maps are characterized by a plain white base designed to provide an unobtrusive background for the road network and the names of towns and villages. Coluring is used only to show national parks and forest parks. Rivers and lakes are included, but other topographic information is limited to names of selected mountain ranges, peaks and valleys, plus spot heights. Steep roads have gradient signs.

The maps include a wide range of symbols highlighting and/or naming numerous places of interest, including National Trust or English Heritage sites and their equivalents in Scotland and Wales, sport and recreational facilities, caravan and campsites, etc.

An index is on the reverse and each title includes indexed street plans of city centers, indicating main traffic arteries, one way streets and parking facilities.
