They can be written on with suitable marker pens without any damage to the map but, unless laminated on both sides, they are not damp-proof.- ENCAPSULATED wall maps are sealed between two sheets of plastic. They are more rigid & heavier than laminated maps of the same size. They are damp-proof & do not crinkle in humid conditions. Encapsulation gives the map a shiny surface, similar to being displayed behind glass.- PLEASE NOTE: many publishers & retailers often use these two terms interchangeably. Our map titles & descriptions follow the definitions provided above.

The South West Coast Path (SWCP) is Britain`s longest waymarked trail, measuring a staggering 630 miles (1015km), from Minehead on the Somerset Coast, right round Devon & Cornwall & back to Poole harbour in Dorset. Although the route is long, it is described step-by-step here & should be accessible for any well-prepared backpacker, with days varying from fairly easy to difficult & always dependent on the weather conditions, which can make cliff top walking dangerous. This epic route takes in Exmoor National Park, several designated Areas of Outstanding National Beauty & the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site.
