MAPS
The best general-purpose maps for walking in
the countryside of West Berkshire are the Ordnance Survey's 1:25,000
scale Explorer maps.
This chart shows the ones covering West Berkshire and the areas nearby
where we regularly walk, and their approximate relationship to each
other.
Click on a cover image (or on the text link for other maps) to find out
the publication date of the latest edition. This will take you to
the Ordnance Survey Map Shop details for the map, though note that
rights of way information is not always brought up to date when only
minor revisions are made.
The maps can be borrowed from many libraries and are available in
bookshops, tourist information centres etc. as well as online.
