Active 10 Maps: National Trails 1:25000

The National Trails arguably offer some of the finest long distance walking in Great Britain, with many of the trails going through one or more National Parks or Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty. All the mapping needed to complete a trail is contained on the map card. A strip of Ordnance Survey that is 10km wide at 1:50k and 8km wide at 1:25k mapping runs the entire length of a trail, giving you the ability to zoom in to great detail, whilst still wide enough to see what is off a trail should you wish to detour.
