Lake District Ordnance Survey maps


Ordnance Survey Explorer map
Special rate of 10% off all Ordnance Survey maps including Explorer (best for walking) and Landranger (best for tourist route planning)
If you are planning to do some walking in the Lake District a good map is invaluable. Like the ads say, 'Don't leave home without it'! For more information on deciding what type of map best suits your needs, see our Ordnance Survey Maps page. Both paper and laminated waterproof maps are available. We have arranged special prices with our supplier, Aqua3.

All maps purchased through Britain Express will receive 10% off the retail price. For example if the normal price for an OS Explorer map is £7.49, if you order through us, the cost is only £6.74, plus FREE postage within the UK.

Links will take you directly to the map info on the Aqua3 website.

Explorer series OS maps (1: 25,000 scale, best for walking. This is the map series our family use and recommend)

Landranger series OS maps (1: 50,000 scale)
