The British Isles by Train and Ferry

by IMIA Member Cosmographics

This attractive, detailed map shows how the rail network, along with ferries to the more isolated areas, allows you to travel to places right across the British Isles and take in the beautiful scenery. The map clearly shows National Parks, Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, forest and woodland areas and the Heritage Coast in England and Wales, much of which is accessible by train and ferry. The rail network includes seasonal and heritage railways. There is also a more detailed map of the London National Park City, the world’s first National Park City. Designed to be fully inclusive and accessible for everyone, including those with color vision deficiency.
