A detailed topographic map of Lampeter from the Ordnance Survey Explorer series, covering Tregaron & Llan-non. Edition A1 with minor changes; Publication date August 2011 About this series: These highly detailed maps show all the administrative boundaries, settlements as small as isolated farms, the road network down to unfenced roads & country tracks, & field boundaries (hedges & drystone walls) which make navigation across the countryside much easier.
