Questions Answered Below:

How detailed are these maps?

The best maps we carry for Britain are the Landranger Series maps from the British Ordnance Survey. These have a scale of 1:50 000 (one inch = approximately 0.79 mile).
View the Landranger Map Grid for the 1:50 000 Series Ordnance Survey Maps of England, Scotland, and Wales (you may view enlargements of different areas of the grid by clicking on that portion of the overview grid)
These maps have much more detail than a map that shows all of Britain on one map.
It takes over 200 of these to cover England, Scotland, and Wales. To order the right map, you need to be able to zero in on a small area.

If you cannot pinpoint the area you want, you may decide to start with a map of intermediate scale.
The sectional Road Map Series maps from the British Ordnance Survey are better than a map of all of Britian on one sheet. These maps cover England, Scotland, and Wales in 8 maps, at a scale of 1:250 000 (one inch = approximately 3.95 miles).

They do not have as much detail as the Landranger Series, but each map covers more territory, and they do show many places you will not see on an ordinary map or atlas of Europe.
