VISITORS to Ringwood should have no difficulty finding their way around town now thanks to five sturdy maps placed next to pay points in the main car park.

The maps, which give information about the charter market set up in 1226, the history behind the town's name and list annual events and visitor attractions, are framed in hardwood and mounted on reclaimed railway sleepers.

Illustrations of the town are by local artist Geoff Bartlett and design is by Walking Distance, alias Martin Smith and Jo Cooper.

Funding of £2,000 cost was shared between the town and district councils
