Dorsetshire Map
« on: Monday 19 January 09 06:08 UTC (UK) »
Hi All, does anyone know where there is a decent Dorsetshire map on the internet, I have found a couple but they are not what I need.  I would like one that shows all villages and how close they all are
Cheers

go to http://www.southernlife.org.uk/dorset/dormain.htm
Theres a large map you can download there

Also
http://www.dorsetrarebooks.co.uk/historic-shaftesbury.htm
Down the bottom is a map 'Map of Dorset 1701 by Robert Morden' (to get it full size - the little magnifying glass didn't show, I had to click off in the white space then back on it)

Both sites say it is ok to download for personal use.

Jen they are brilliant thank you
although I am a Poole girl from way back, living in Australia, towns are so far apart and you tend to forget how close villages were way back when.
