Maps
We provide our own specially-drawn route maps which
should be all you need. Our maps show the route with directions
at each junction and warnings etc. Plus lots of other info. However,
if you really want an Ordnance Survey map, you can buy these maps
from Amazon.co.uk...
Landranger Series: Scale of 1:50
000 (1.25 inches to 1 mile, 2 cm to 1 km). These maps show much
more detail and are the ones to get if you really want to see
some detail. Nantlle is on the left edge of the Snowdonia
& Caernarfon map and on the right edge of the Lleyn
Peninsula map.
Travel Maps Series: Scale of 1:175
000 (1 inch to 2.75 miles, 1 cm to 1.75 km). You could get by
with this map.
Clicking on the maps below takes you to Amazon.co.uk.
There you can click on the "LOOK INSIDE!" link (and
follow through to the 3rd page) to see the coverage of each map
– very useful.
