A total of 403 maps cover the whole of England, Scotland and Wales and include national trails, recreational paths, picnic areas, viewpoints and selected places of interest.
OS Explorer - Active Maps
Helpfully, the series of Ordnance Survey Explorer Active maps are weatherproof. They contain the same information as the conventional OS Explorer series but are covered in a lightweight protective plastic coating to give them greater durability.
