The stylized black and white line work of many maps is a great backdrop for colouring – give Winchester some colour. We made a few black and white maps for you to colour in, free A4 size PDF downloads:

The maps are crafted from Ordnance Survey data and focus on the pattern of streets and buildings but also brings in the flowing curves of the river Itchen between St Cross and Bar End. Why don’t you give it a try?
Map colouring is a soothing and relaxing activity for both kids and adults, particularly on those rainy days. Alternatively, if you need to get away from the screen for a little while, colouring in provides a bit of low-tech relaxation.
You can paint your own picture on top of the map or give the map your very own style. Print out the map, rest your eyes on the sheet, pick some beautiful colours – colour pens/pencils or even water colours are great – and let your mind wander.
