Maps for Walking

For all walks, but in particular for hill and mountain walking, it is recommended that you take an Ordnance Survey map with you.  For Northern Ireland, ordnance survey maps can be purchased at Tourist Information Centres, good bookstores, petrol stations, and from Ordnance Survey Northern Ireland (OSNI):

Walkers are recommended to use the OSNI Discoverer series, scale 1: 50 000, which covers all Northern Ireland.  In addition, OSNI Activity maps are available at a scale of 1:25 000 for the more popular areas for outdoor pursuits, namely Sperrins; Mournes; Upper Lough Erne and Slieve Croob.
