Brixham Town Visitor Maps

Brixham town centre

A self-initiated project to address a clear and demonstrable need. Tourists and visitors to Brixham often miss a lot of what makes it such a characterful town and environment. As a past resident, and someone who often got asked, ‘where is…?’, the need for a pocket map guide was self-evident. Despite the clear demonstrable advantage a product of this kind has to promote understanding and encourage exploration (and subsequent spend), there was no support for the initiative, even though the map was well-received in tests. The extracts here are from the first test of an A6 pocket guide; A3 when unfolded. Unfortunately, sometimes the vision is simply not there!

“Bespoke mapping encourages, informs and enhances the visitor experience and memory of place.”

— J. Clark
