Excellent maps , especially for birders visiting the islands

Stunning Maps

The Friendly Guides to West Cornwall are an amazing resource. The maps are a work of art and bring the coastal countryside to life.

Using the same excellent detailed maps from the IoS Guidebook (Friendly Guides) this brings all the sectioned maps into one view.
I would recommend buying this together with the Excellent Guidebook

Excellent detailed overview for anyone visiting the Isles of Scilly.
Detailing places / Topics of interest including localised maps and highlighted details of recommendations.

An ideal companion for a visit to Bryher, a small island with a lot to explore.

Perfect guides for those interested in the real Cornwall

Excellent service

Would definitely recommend friendly Guides. Neil was very quick at responding to my emails and went above and beyond to ensure i received my map promptly. Would not hesitate in using him again.

Scilly Maps

My wife and I are celebrating our Golden Wedding Anniversary. We honeymooned on The Isles of Scilly 50 years ago so returned last week. We wandered into the information shop on Town Beach on St. Mary's and my wife spotted your map of the island. We bought it, together with the Tresco and St. Marin's maps. Your maps are superb and we used them every day. They contain exactly what we needed to explore the islands. The little illustrations, drawings etc. add to the detail and I can recommend them as essential for any tourist visiting The Isles of Scilly.

Lands end book 1

Excellent book as always with fabulous detailed maps which are better than ordnance survey with people that know & obviously love the areas they are writing about.

Walking in St Mary’s

Friendly Guides was very helpful in taking my order over the telephone, and sending one of their guides directly to my relative.

Replacement guide

Very many thanks for sending me a replacement guide after I commented on my disappointment about the first guide book being imperfect. Really appreciate you reacting immediately.

We’re so sorry your book was damaged, a replacement will be with you by Tuesday. Regards Friendly Guides.

So informative

I love these guides. There is so much information on the maps, and even more in the text. I ordered both this and the Lizard guide well before our holiday so as to enjoy the reading up and learn more.

A perfect guide

Bryher is a small, magical island where there is a surprising amount to explore. This guide covers all bases, and would be an invaluable companion to new visitors as well as regulars. It packs in a lot of information, and the maps are very useful and comprehensive.
