Landranger maps are superb. I have used them for about 15 years for walking & expeditions.
1:50,000 scale show most features/routes and boudaries. Not to mention the Relief of the land.
You can get some software that has these maps built in. Arquet Maps. Its produced by the OS and is available from some of the larger chain of outdoor shops. Allows you to plan and print routes on A4 pages as well... also works out complete distance and shows Relief and total height gained too.
I would also look at a 1:25,000 map (think their called Leisure maps, usually in a yellow cardboard cover)
Although they are quite cumbersome, they are VERY detailed.
If anyone is interested, I have made a presentation about Relief & Verticle Interval. Its on Powerpoint. I use it to teach kids Map & Compass and Navigation so its nice and basic to understand.
It may take me a few days to get it posted, but if anyone is interested let me know.
