Description
Maps covering the entire South Downs Way.
The South Downs Way links Winchester and Eastbourne through the national park’s chalk downs and cultural landscape. The map booklet covers the whole main route and shows how the paths connect ridges, valleys, and small settlements. It provides a useful overview, even when you are only walking individual stages or choosing a shorter section from where you are staying in the area.
Detailed OS coverage in one booklet.
Ordnance Survey maps at a scale of 1:25,000 show the course of the path and the surrounding terrain. The maps are collected in a format that is easy to keep at hand along the way and can be used in both directions. The booklet thus offers a practical alternative to handling several separate map sheets as you follow the route over several days.
The map section as a separate product.
This product has the map coverage as its main content and complements a more comprehensive guidebook. The relevant Cicerone guide to the South Downs Way includes the map booklet, so it is worth checking what you already own. If you want ongoing route descriptions and more help with accommodation and logistics, the separate guidebook is a natural complement to the maps themselves.
Plan stages through open terrain.
The South Downs has moderate elevations, but several climbs and little shelter on the open ridges. Wind, heat, and access to water can affect how a day’s walk should be planned. Use the maps together with current information on transport and facilities, so that daily distances and breaks suit both your group and the conditions during the planned hike.
A long tradition of hiking guides.
Cicerone has published guidebooks since 1969. The publisher emerged among climbers and mountaineers who wanted to share thorough knowledge of their routes – a tradition that still characterizes these compact books for walking, trekking, and other outdoor experiences.
