A new map has been produced to help inexperienced walkers enjoy the Sedbergh area of the Yorkshire Dales.

The Sedbergh walks map contains eights routes based on the town and is a result of collaboration between Harvey Maps and the Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority (YDNPA), which provided funding to support its production.

The map uses a simplified mapping style developed by Harveys in conjunction with the YDNPA and includes details of local places of interest and local facilities.

The map is priced at £2.20 and is available from YDNPA National Park Centres, good book shops and Harvey Maps on their website at www.harveymaps.co.uk.

Andy Ryland, Transport and Visitor Management Officer for the YDNPA, commented: "The map uses an innovative design that will be easy to use by the less experienced walker without loosing any accuracy."
