Met zijn 4cm voor 1 km (2 ½ cm voor 1 mijl) schaal, is de OS Outdoor Leisure kaartenserie de ideale en meest gedetailleerde kaartenreeks voor mensen die graag outdoor-activiteiten zoals fietsen, wandelen, paardrijden, klimmen en watersporten. Deze kaart is nog gedetailleerder dan de 'gewone' Landranger maps. Voor- en achterzijde bedrukt! Zeker op de moors en andere natuurgebieden van onschatbare waarden met echt alle aspecten van het landschap op de kaart ingetekend. Zeer goede detailkaart met topografische ondergrond. Hierop zijn toeristische symbolen van bezienswaardigheden ingetekend, daarnaast staan bijvoorbeeld campings en jeugdherbergen vermeld en - voor wandelaars het belangrijkst - alle right of way paden en Lange afstands Wandelpaden zijn er op te vinden. De ideale kaart voor het wandelen in Engeland, Wales of Schotland. Map sheet number OL1 in the OS Explorer series is ideal for exploring all that the Dark Peak area of the Peak District has to offer. Visitors to this area will enjoy high gritstone hills, steep-sided valleys and moorland plateau. Highlights of the area include: Kinder Scout, The Pennine Way, Edale, Derwent Valley Heritage Way, Ladybower Reservoir, Black Hill, and Glossop. These highly detailed maps show all the administrative boundaries, settlements as small as isolated farms, road network down to unfenced roads and country tracks, and field boundaries (hedges and drystone walls) which make navigation across the countryside much easier. Steep gradients on roads are indicated. Various landmarks, eg. powerlines, archaeological sites, windmills, churches and lighthouses are shown, and additional graphics indicate natural terrain features such as cliffs, scree, mud and vegetation variations. Contour interval is 5 metres in the lower parts of the country and 10 metres in the uplands, and spot heights are marked. Each map covers an area of 30 x 20km (i.e. approx. 19 x 12 miles), with some double-sided maps covering more, as indicated in the individual descriptions. The maps are fully GPS compatible, with the National Grid shown at 1km intervals and latitude and longitude indicated by margin ticks at 1'. OL show a large amount of information for ramblers and tourists. Public rights of way are shown (except in Scotland), together with other routes with public access: National Trails and Recreational Paths, permitted paths and bridleways, and selected cycle routes. Open access land created under the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 is marked. Tourist information includes caravan and camp sites, Park & Ride locations, recreation/leisure/sport centres, museums, historic buildings, English Heritage and National Trust sites, rural pubs, etc. The map legend is in English only, except for the tourist information content which is also in French and German.
