Encountered this site today en-gb.topographic-map.com Might be of some interest :-)

(Actually mentioned once before, by @Cerrertonia in March 21, but it's not on the sidebar.)

Found as I'd read @Yorkshire Mince Pie's blog and wondered what altitude Clermont Ferrand was at.

Not sure whether this is the best thread, but here goes ...

I have two maps to give away: Bodensee West and Bodensee Ost, published by Kümmerly+Frey on waterproof paper at a scale of 1:35,000. Ideal for hiking or cycling. The Bodensee may be better know to English-speaking readers as Lake Constance!

Free to a good home. I'll pay second-class UK postage.

This is really neat. And not just UK only. Particularly like the way the colour shading is relative, so intervals change according to max relief on any given viewport. Checked out my old childhood haunts on the Cromer ridge in north Norfolk. Pleased to see lots of red high ground at only 100m. :)

You can get red high ground at 25m around Holme Fen. And my house at 225m above sea level can be shown as blue if I select the right window on the map.

I have a plastic 3-d topographic relief map of the Yorkshire Dales on my wall - really very good for visualising the landscape and how the hills and roads and rivers fit together.
