The 
cycle map legend describes the map symbols and lines.
The main maps on this site come from a project called OpenCycleMap (which is part of the OpenStreetMap (OSM) project).
Use the print option from your browser when viewing a route listing page. The print option is usually in the File menu, or on some browsers can be activated by Ctrl+P (hold the control key and press p).
The site normally displays distances and heights in miles and feet.
Our Journey Planner finds cycle routes from A to B in the UK. Taking into account the type of roads, the hilliness of the terrain, it presents a choice of the fastest, quietest and balanced routes. Images from our photomap library of locations along the journey are shown.
The Photomap lets you view and add cycling-related photos in your area and beyond. By categorising these photos, galleries showing a range of good and poor practice are created, which can be useful in influencing decision-makers.
