Can you find somewhere you have visited before, either with family or friends?

What can you see on the map? Was it a coastal area, woodland, or something else?

Tell someone in your family about it. Can you use the line tool to find out how far it was from your house? (Look in drawing tools). Can you see how that area has changed over time? (Use the map selector tool in the top left). If you do not have access to a computer/tablet/phone to do this, why not have a look at a paper map at home? What landmarks can you spot?

Is there something on the map that can help you work out how far it is from where you live? Enjoy exploring the map!! Mrs Fraser
