Road Atlas
 

I will be driving for a couple of weeks in Great Britain. I'm looking for a good road atlas and where to find one when I get there. I will be in England, Scotland, and Wales. Any suggestions?

Any bookstore or stationer should have some . Probably the best is the ? A. A. Road Atlas of Great Britain ? A large map in book form, scale 4 miles to the inch. Costs around Six G.B.P.
Have a good trip!

Buy any road atlas based on the Ordnance Survey. Both the AA and the RAC (but others as well) produce maps at a scale of 4 miles to the inch either spiral or comb bound.

That's what I'd buy.

Virtually every bargain bookstore and large supermarket as well fuel station sells a basic but good AA atlas for around £1.99, and more detailed one for £3.99-4.99. No need to spend £6-10 for essentially the same thing with fancy covers in Waterstones, tourist shop or WH Smith.

I have several (Michelin, AA, RAC, etc) road atlases at home but never pack one. They are so cheap, I always buy one when doing a driving trip in the UK.

The ones that typically cost $20+ in the US are about £2 in any roadside garage, news agent or book store.

If the rental agency doesn't provide one just stop at the first motorway service area or most any petrol station and they will usually be displayed up front.
