You don’t want to get a local authority map - they are used for different purposes. Get an Ordinance Survey Outdoor Explorer 1:25,000 map of the area you want to go walking in. shop.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/maps/paper-maps/explorer-maps/
There's a couple of reasons to look at a local authority maps. Two that come to mind are if you need to know the identifying number of a right of way for some reason, like perhaps reporting an obstruction to the authority, or if you have difficulty crossing stiles and similar structures, they *might* be marked on the local authority's map. Drop the name of the local authority in question into a search engine along with "Rights of Way Map" and you should find it. They aren't for navigation, though; use Ordnance Survey maps for that.
Thank you for this video! This is the type of video I could use to show the kids I take out into the countryside.
Well taught, thanks, very clear.
Where is the most likely local authority place to look for a usable map for recreational navigation ?
