Ordnance Survey is the official
mapping agency of Great Britain. The Department has set
the standard for all government mapping agencies. The
maps they produce are comprehensive, accurate and very
readable.
Ordnance Survey's travel maps are
produced in series of varying scales, each serving different
purposes.
The Savvy Traveller stocks, on
a regular basis, the Great Britain Route Planner, Road
Maps and Touring Maps but does not usually stock the Landranger
or Explorer maps. We'll be happy to special order maps
in these two series for you.*
Let us know what area interests
you and how much detail you need and we'll help you determine
which maps will meet your needs.
