With its abundance of ancient castles Roman remains and steam railways you’d be forgiven for thinking that Kent was set in the past. The Future Mapping Company’s Kent County map gives “The Garden of England” a contemporary upgrade worthy of Margate’s Turner gallery. This map spans from Stratford in East London out to Botany Bay for a spot of fossil hunting and down to Camber Sands for sandcastle building in the South. The contours of the North Downs and High Weald Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty are highlighted in our signature eye-catching contrast making you long for a rural getaway filled with walks and pub lunches. Railway lines are given prominence in black over our silvery road infrastructure so you could plan your next weekend break in Rye without the parking and traffic stress. Heritage railways are a Kent specialty so we gave them some extra care in a shimmering teal. As a finishing touch The Future Mapping Company’s legend (or key if you’re not as much of a map nerd as we are!) features an evocative line drawing of the traditional Kent Oast Houses you’ll see on your travels. The Future Mapping Company prints their maps on to the highest quality FSC approved silk-coated paper using the lithographic printing process. (This works like a mechanised version of traditional screen printing.) A plate is made for each colour and then laid down individually creating a stunning print with maximum definition and impact. A sealer is applied to protect the inks and gloss UV varnish used to add contrast and highlight water tributaries.
