Central England with Wales at 1:316, 800 (5 miles to 1 inch) from A-Z on an indexed road map providing map coverage from London to Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds & Hull, plus the whole of Wales. The index is on the reverse. Current edition of this title was published in 2015. Maps in this “ Five miles to 1 inch” series from A-Z show areas above 400 feet (122 metres) & woodlands by colouring & relief shading; spot heights are in feet. The colouring of the road network clearly distinguishes between primary routes & other A roads, with B roads also easy to follow on all backgrounds. The maps are primarily designed for route planning, so smaller country roads are perhaps less clear to see, with the publishers recommending their alternative series for more detailed local coverage (please search for SI00000215 or SI00000882). Railway lines are included & shown with stations, but at times difficult to find. A wide range of symbols highlight numerous places of interest. Each map has British National Grid lines & is indexed. IMPORTANT
- PLEASE NOTE: many place names & all additional tourist information is in very small lettering, requiring good eyesight or a magnifying glass. To see the list of titles in this series please click on the series link.

Wainwright`s meticulously h&-drawn maps, diagrams & drawings take walkers up the 214 principal hills & mountains of the Lake District, describing the main routes of ascent from different starting points, as well as lesser-known variants, showing the summit viewpoint panoramas & the ridge routes that can be made to create longer walks.
