Site Map Legend
All maps are based upon the Ordnance Survey 1:25,000 maps. Check the scale on the map as a couple of the maps are a smaller scale than the rest - Brigsteer being an example.
A full list of 1:25,000 map symbols can be found here. The main Ordnance Survey site is here
A number of symbols have been added to the maps.
