Manufacturers description

Devon Cycle & Leisure Map (09550168-2-7) covers North and South Devon, reaching Minehead, but not covering East Devon./ Cornwall Cycle & Leisure Map (09550168-1-9) covers the whole of Cornwall and adjacent parts of West Devon./ These 1:100,000 maps are a follow on from a Herefordshire map which the CTC still puts top of the list of UK cycle maps and described as ‘favourite map’ by Exeter cartographers./ Cycling Plus review February 2006: “The result is fantastic: maps at an ideal scale of 1:100,000 that are lovely to look at yet truly practical”. Comment of a user: “Just been on Bristol -> Penzance cycle ride – found your maps brilliant.” (NP)./ All roads and settlements are marked, as are rivers and 30m contours and there are also town plans. The map is packed full of useful information such as shops, pubs, cafes, tourist sites and cycle facilities. It is called a ‘cycle map’ because it is at a useful scale (with enough detail yet you don’t keep going off the map) and it has cycle routes, shops and facilities. And the research was done by bike! Handy to have in the car as well./ Size 510 x 720, five colour, waterproof foldable paper. Price £3 each. Add £2 for post and packing (this covers any number of maps). Available from local shops or direct from Croyde Cycle (cheques to ‘Croyde Cycle’).
