NEW MAP CONNECTS PARKS AND OPEN SPACES IN AND AROUND BRISTOL

By MARTIN BOOTH, Sunday Feb 7, 2021

A new map inspired by Harry Beck’s famous map of the London Underground features ten ‘lines’ and some 250 green places to explore across Bristol.

The ‘Greenground Map’ by graphic designer Helen Ilus aims to connect the city’s parks and open spaces to inspire walks, runs and bike rides.

Helen lives in Tallinn, the capital of Estonia, but graduated from UWE Bristol with a Master’s degree in animation. The map of Bristol is her third Greenground Map following versions of London and Edinburgh.

Are these maps available to purchase? London Underground size.

Fun. But unlike the London Underground map, it can only be used as an inspiration for travel, not actual navigation.
