Map of Cumbria

he land of Cumbria is divided into several baronies, and consists primarily of mountainous terrain. It is of course well-known for its lakes, also known as meres or tarns. This map depicts, with reasonable accuracy, the villages, towns, castles, physical features, magical sites and political boundaries of Cumbria of the 13th century.

This map of Cumbria was created with the help of the following references:

Click on the link below to download a PDF version of the map. This is high-res and should print nicely, but is large and requires Adobe Acrobat Reader (freely available for Mac, Windows and Unix) to view/print it. It's a bit small on one sheet of paper, as I designed it to print as a poster. Updated for 2000!
