A Map of Great Britain, hand-drawn by myself using old dip pen and ink, in the style of Tolkien’s fold-out maps! Having already drawn Scotland, Ireland and Wales, I’m planning on making a more focused version of England, so please suggest any landmarks I must include!

  1. This is absolutely wild, great work.

    There’s a couple of things I think you should include in England:

    – Derby
    – Possibly Lancaster, depending on what era this is supposed to reflect, it was extremely important at various times in history
    – Some east-west route through the Pennines, probably Snake Pass and the Calder gap, both of which are historic routes, possibly the A66, and the Newcastle-Hexham-Carlisle road along the Wall

    Also

    – I think it’s the Antonine (not Antontine) Wall?

    First: amazing work, that’s stunning – you should sell prints!

    Second: as a landmark suggestion, Jodrell Bank.

  3. Nice drawing. It is not Great Britain though. At least, not only Great Britain, which should be the largest landmass only of the British Isles.

    It would be even better with the real irish names translated. Eg Dublin-Dubhlinn-dark pool
