When you are planning your holidays, short breaks or family days out in the UK, it is so nice not to have to take a step into the unknown...
This is why I am building this website with information about the Yorkshire east coast - and I think this applies doubly for maps. It's good to have some idea of where you are going...
That it is why I am including this section on maps for you. I love maps and used to work in an office drawing maps. Unfortunately it didn't leave me with fantastic map reading skills - I make a very poor navigator on car trips out! (Thank goodness we now have sat nav!!)
Maps are always useful, to know where you are, or have some idea where you are going, so, without further ado:
Map of Yorkshire
Here is a map of Britain. The Yorkshire coast is the area of coast between (approximately) Hull and Middlesbrough on the map (east side of the country):
Zooming In...
The map below is interactive.
Just use the + and - buttons in the top left corner of the map to zoom in and out.
Use the arrows to move about the area.
Interactive Town Maps on Screen
Now, for more detailed maps of Yorkshire east coast towns, see the following links:
I hope that these maps will prove helpful to you for your holidays or days out at the Yorkshire east coast.
Paper Maps to Order
For a more detailed paper map of Yorkshire, suitable for planning walks and trips around the area, the best maps are the Ordnance Survery Maps. You should be able to buy these in local bookshops and tourist centres in the area, or you can order them in advance:
OS Landranger Series (1:50,000 Scale)
Whitby, Esk Dale and Robin Hood's Bay: Click here!
OS Explorer Series (1:25,000 Scale) These are larger scale. This means that the detail appears bigger on the page. This is the most suitable map if you are planning on doing country walks.
