Points where particular care should be taken crossing a road are clearly marked. Locations along the route & within easy distance from it are annotated with symbols indicating what facilities can be found there (campsites, caravan sites, youth hostels, pubs & refreshments, restaurants, shops & drinking water supplies, toilets, etc). On the river the maps shows locks where facilities are available, with a separate panel indicating what is available at each lock & providing phone numbers. In the surrounding countryside the map has contours at 10m intervals, with additional colouring for open forest/woodland & dense plantations. Roads a graded by colouring, local tracks & footpaths are marked, & railway lines are shown with stations. Within London Underground stations are shown (though not all are named); 18 of the capital’s major attractions are highlighted & listed with their websites.
