Waddesdon Manor Visitor Map
Cartography
Numerous historic houses and gardens are represented by rudimentary, frequently highly illustrative maps shown at an oblique aerial viewpoint. Whilst they possess a childlike charm, they do not effectively convey information or provide clear wayfinding guidance, particularly regarding accessibility. Furthermore, they cannot be used in a heads-up approach which has become best practice in recent times. The Rothschild Foundation sought a more refined and contemporary map, which, consistent with the brand identity of Waddesdon Manor in Buckinghamshire, which they manage on behalf of the National Trust, was created. The revised map elucidates the footways, accessibility, and other features of the estate, as well as its attractions as a destination.
“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.”
