personalised map gift for hikers

One of the most thoughtful gifts for a hiker that we stock, these beautiful Personalised Maps are unique to Ordnance Survey. If you know their favourite peak in the Cairngorms or the first hike in The Lake District that started their hiking obsession then it’s so easy to make a perfect unique gift for them.

You can choose from a framed map, a traditional folded OS Map or a mini pocket size personalised OS Map. Create a custom map with the location right at the centre and a lovely picture chosen by you on the front page. You can also choose the title of the map so you can make it as funny or as heartfelt as you like depending on the recipient.

Ideal Stocking Filler!

You don’t need to get a full size map, our smaller personalised maps make brilliant stocking fillers and they’re fantastic for tucking in your pocket out on a walk, or framing if you want a lasting memory of a cherished location, perhaps where you got married or first met? (it’s not always about hiking 😉
