A first class compilation with everything you need to know about spending time in the Isles of Scilly. A real bargain and an excellent service.
Excellent service.
I emailed to ask about the date of the new edition for the Isles of Scilly, the response the the email was quick and I was told the date, this was later than my holiday date and I was advise to have a look at purchasing Scilly Island by Island collection.
I purchased the collection which arrived within in two days.
Everything about this company was excellent and will definitely look at there website again when looking to purchase a guide.
Delivered the next day. They look great and will be used on our forthcoming visit. We were recommended to get these maps by a neighbour who uses them on their trips.
These maps are just brilliant for use when visiting any of the islands. Clear and with masses of useful information.
Fantastic service, ordered online in the afternoon, delivered by 9am next morning. The books are brilliant on each island and the maps in them are far more detailed and easier to use than OS.
These are really detailed maps their large, 1:10,000 scale, makes them excellent for finding your way round the roads, tracks and paths of the Isles of Scilly. Easier to use than the Ordnance Survey's 1:25,000 map.
Unfortunately the paper is not very strong and after walking round St Mary's for a week with the map I was left with five separate strips. If you buy before you go to the islands then it would be worth covering in a clear plastic film to make them more robust.
If only all companies were like this - great comms and quick service - also the maps were perfect. Hopefully they will be well used over the coming years.
I've been coming to the islands for over 20 years. The guides are full of
interesting facts and details and the maps make getting around very easy.
Highly recommended - thank you
Excellent and comprehensive information with great maps. A must have if you are planning to visit the Isles.
Tells a first time visitor all they need to know about the islands. The author obviously knows them inside out and shares his enthusiasm and knowledge with the reader. Detailed information about recommended walks and facilities/points of interest along the way. Large scale maps which show on each page the appropriate section from the islands companion map. Fantastic delivery time!
I have found these quides and maps excellent in the way they bring regular maps ( like OS ) to life by depicting the terrain and features of the landscape. In addition the clear and informative historical and geographical text that accompanies the maps and guides really helps to get a ‘feel’ for the land that you are walking upon. Pathways, car parking, suggested routes and detours are clearly referred to and the style of narrative is ‘ friendly’ and very helpful. I would thoroughly recommend these guides and maps to anyone who enjoys walking on these beautiful parts of Cornwall.
I liked the whole map. I will use it for my next trip to the Isles of Scilly and plan walks there.
Maps were good and useful, lots of interesting information about these lovely islands
A brilliant little book with all one could need to find one’s way around the area. Many handy tips, good sized maps with plenty of detail and lots of good photos. We are using ours a great deal!
Fascinating to see the differences between Land’s End / West Penwith and the Lizard. The guidebook will enable me to plan my visits to West Penwith while staying on the Lizard and indulge my fascination for pre-history.
Just what I wanted to inspire me over the winter, encourage me to come to the Lizard, and plan my trip next year.
