Old Ordnance Survey Inch to the Mile Maps

  • These maps normally cover an area of about 18 miles by 12 miles and are especially good at showing railways, roads and canals, and at giving a broad view of a wider area. Each includes an introduction and a more detailed map of a small town or village. They are available through our On-line Mapshop

  • Here is information about Sheet 293:

  • One Inch Sheet 293 Barnstaple, South Molton & Exmoor (West) 1897 - published 2011; intro by Richard Oliver. ISBN.978-1-84784-465-1

    This Inch to the Mile map covers the area around and to the east of Barnstaple, including the western part of Exmoor, around Simonsbath. On the reverse we include a detailed map of the small town of South Molton, showing all buildings on and around the town centre, including Broad Street, East Street, South Street, Mill Streetr and Barnstaple Street.


    It is not possible to list the many hamlets, farmsteads and other topographical features shown on these maps. However, you may find it useful if we list the towns and principal villages or church parishes that are included on this map. Links are given for those for which detailed large-scale maps are also available.
