Waddesdon Manor Visitor Map

The full extents of the visitor map

The Rothschild Foundation sought a more refined and contemporary visitor map consistent with the brand identity of Waddesdon Manor, which they manage on behalf of the National Trust. Previous illustrative maps were considered to be perceived as childish, inaccurate and patronising to visitors (which is a common criticism), not to mention missing lots of important details and landscape character. The revised map makes clear the footways and other features of the estate previously missing. The cleaner, simpler and more accessible style increases functionality and engagement. This was the first iteration, designed to be updated and further enhanced.

“Jason was a pleasure to work with on the creation of a new on-site map here at Waddesdon Manor. His wealth of cartography experience was invaluable in assessing our requirements and presenting a proposal. Our map is now modern, easy to read and use.”
