The north side shows Belfast, and across the Channel to Edinburgh, the Outer Hebrides, the Orkney Islands, and the Shetland Islands.The United Kingdom is comprised of the island of Great Britain which includes England, Wales, and Scotland; surrounding islands including the Outer Hebrides, Orkney Islands, and Shetland Islands; and Northern Ireland. No part of the UK is more than 75 miles from the sea, but the geography is diverse. England consists of mostly lowland terrain with mountainous regions found in the north and in Wales. Scotland is divided into two distinct regions by the Highland Boundary Fault which separates the Highlands to the north and west and the lowlands in the south and east. The largest body of water in the UK is Northern Ireland’s Lough Neagh. Though it is the largest body of water by surface area, Scotland’s Loch Ness is larger by volume due to its great depth.Every Adventure Map is printed on durable synthetic paper, making them waterproof, tear-resistant and tough — capable of withstanding the rigors of international travel.Map Scale = 1:825,000Sheet Size = 37.75" x 25.5"Folded Size = 4.25" x 9.25"

We used the map on a recent 12 day trip to the UK. It does include many interesting tourist attractions, and is easy to use. On the downside, many stretches of road are not labeled, leaving us to guess whether we were on A65 or A65, etc. It is not always detailed enough to get you from point A to point B, even if A and B are reasonably large towns. We did have to get a detailed map of the UK in order to confidently find our way around.
This map was very helpful om our tour of the UK. It showed many interesting attractions with simple pictures and many weren't the usual tourist destinations, though those were included. I would recommend it. We also rented a car in Scotland and were given a good map by the rental company.
Good Map but it has a Major Flaw!!! The major flaw is there are no road numbers except for major A Roads. This is not a problem if you stay on major Motorways but major problem if you are exploring as the name of the map implies. "Adventure Travel Map".
This map will do a good job for you in navigating around Great Briton. Even if you have a GPS unit, it is worthwhile to check your route on an actual map. I have been sent on many interesting journeys with a GPS unit that were not entirely correct.
I thought it would show more places of interests. We did use it for the major highways( A roads) but it does not label the B roads. Which we used more often, as there was a lot of construction and traffic while we were traveling in late July/August,
I used this same type map for Iceland last year and it was wonderful. This one for UK does not have the detail to explore other than major roads, and could use a lot more detail of sites of interest. Also I somehow missed that it only had the eastern side of Ireland when I checked for Northern Ireland so will need to buy a separate map. It does include the Orkneys and Shetlands. The map itself is high quality and durable, and rolls well (if you need to as I do). Happy travels!
Good maps. If you're planning on traveling to the UK, this is THE map, with clear roads marked, and sights and scenes. It's well worth its very reasonable cost.
Nice quality, nice size, and very easy to read! Accuracy remains to be determined until I get to the UK! :)
