A Map of Great Britain, hand-drawn by myself using old dip pen and ink, in the style of Tolkien’s fold-out maps. I hope you enjoy! 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!

Welney Wetlands – visible from space, long scar.
Epping Forest
Cranborne Chase
Portmeirion
Jurassic Coast and Needles of IOW.
Also possibly High Cross where the two Roman Roads meet.
You could definitely sell this if you haven’t thought about it already
You need to include Errigal drawn similar to Erebor. Pretty sure it’s a Tolkien inspiration for the lonely mountain.
How is this Great Britain when you’re including Ireland?
Fantastic and very talented, but you have missed Cannock Chase Staffordshire part of a greater forest that the King of England used to hunt in.
This is amazing, have you got a higher quality version so i can read the names better?
That’s fantastic. Have a look at John Speed maps a english cartographer for even more inspiration.
Tolkien drew much inspiration for his lord of the rings during his stay in Lancashire, at stoney Hurst college nr hurst green not far from where I live…in middle earth. We have a circular walk called the Tolkien way.
I don’t know if you’re putting landmark roads in, but you could show a bit of the Ridgeway seeing as it’s such an important road! Or hill figure or two. They’re my favourite English landmarks. The White Horse maybe? Or the Long Man?
Oh my god it’s beautiful. Though I suggest adding a dragon (or unicorn!) in the corner!
Very nicely done. You should include Offa’s Dyke, though.
Great stuff. I do recommend you give Snowdonia (the National Park) its Welsh name of “Eryri”, which is now its official name in English too.
This is fantastic. Great work.
Definitely add in some features for the Norfolk broads and fens.
Perhaps something to do with all the canals around the midlands.
