OS touring map of UK with ancient sites marked - By: M. littler, 20 Dec 2008 
The map is pretty much what you expect of a UK touring map coloured to indicate heights (green - brown), but with the modern road information all changed to a light grey to make it less obtrusive. Ancient sites are then markedin coloured symbols & words. The map is double sided with the South on one side & the North on the other, split near Kendal
I find the greyed out information still obtrusive, & the ancient site information is not as easilly visible as I might have liked. To be fair though, I dont think you could do a lot better without removing all of the modern information, which then might make it difficult to pinpoint the ancient sites.
The ancient information also includes Roman & Early Medieval, each colour coded. Bronze age informationin orangey brown is not strikingly evidentin the hills, which are also orangey brown. It takes a few minutes to get used to.
It would probably be better suited to electronic publishing, where you could choose to switch on & off different information, to give you clearer views of what you were looking for.
Beautiful - By: , 03 Dec 2003 This map is wonderful for putting into context a lot of historical monuments, those you know well, & a lot you've heard of but can't place. It's well put together with all the plus points of an ordnance survey map making places easy to find. It's also so lovely to look at I'm thinking of putting it on my wall!
