Dorset and Channel Isles at 1:150,000 in a series of maps at varying scales, all designed to highlight very clearly each area’s diverse cultural and industrial heritage, natural attractions, sport and recreational sites, and tourist facilities.

Different types of small icons or signs prominently indicate a wide range of places of interest from aerial activity, ancient forts or animal attractions to windmills, working farms and zoos. Most titles include campsites, caravan sites, youth hostels and holiday centres and several maps also show National Long-distance Trails and/or recommended cycle routes.

Road information is clearly laid out, with minor country roads easy to see. Driving distances are given on main routes and in some titles recommended country tours are highlighted. Railway lines are shown with stations and, where appropriate, ferry routes are marked.

Presentation of the topography varies, with some altitude tinting provided on the more detailed maps. Unless specified in their descriptions, the maps have no geographical coordinates for GPS users. Many titles also include additional street plans of each area’s main towns.

In this title: topographic information is shown by spot heights and colouring for woodlands and protected areas. The map includes an index of places of interest but not a general index of town and villages. Street plans cover Dorchester, Weymouth, Bourenmouth, Pool and Poole Harbour, highlighting main traffic routes, places of interest and car parks. Maps for Jersey, Guernsey and Alderney are shown as insets. Current edition date: 2008.
