- ordnancesurveyAnd the area of Britain which has seen the most Custom Made map orders over the last 5 years? It's the Lake District. National Park, Unesco World Heritage Site and the place that you most like to centre your Custom Made maps. Find out about more of Britain's mappy hotspots by clicking the link in our bio...

- northawayphotographyPerhaps because in standard OS fashion the middle of the national park is in the corner of all 4 maps? 😉😂
- tessa_mary_roseYeah, I'm not surprised! I'm not complaining but it is a pain if you visit the centre region of the lakes you potentially need £40 worth of maps!
- ordnancesurvey@northawayphotography yes, Lake District is one of the larger National Parks, so doesn't fit all in one map unfortunately!
- ordnancesurvey@tessa_mary_rose yes, the lovely Lake District is one of the larger National Parks in Britain, so can't all be squeezed onto one of our OS Explorer maps!
- northawayphotography@ordnancesurvey true, but a 'Central Lake District' map would be doable no? 😊
- ordnancesurvey@northawayphotography we haven't got any plans to rejig all of our map sheets for OS Explorer - but Custom Made maps are available of course!!
- northawayphotography@ordnancesurvey haha. Well, it's 2017, I use digital mapping 😁
- ordnancesurvey@northawayphotography safety first - we always recommend carrying a paper map and compass too. But if you like digital mapping then it's all in one place and you can't fall off the edge of the map with OS Maps anyway. You get all of GB for £19.99 a year and you can print off as many map extracts as you like!
- northawayphotography@ordnancesurvey yes, that's what I have 😊
