The best large scale maps in the UK are the OS Explorer 1:25,000.
Do not buy them yet a new edition with Right to Roam areas marked will be
issued 30 Oct 2005.

The two 1:25,000 maps that cover the North York Moors have been
available for about three months with Open Access land ('right to roam'😉
land marked. Many shops are still trying to sell the old versions -
look for the brown Open Access land symbol (stick person with legs on
either sides of a valley?) on the cover of the map to ensure you get the
latest version.

Are those really new editions or just the old maps with (yet) another
layer of information printed over?

(roads, motorways etc.) included in the new version.
