Hi Katie,
Just a couple of quick thoughts. I don’t
know if any of the smaller scale (Miniscale, 1:250,000 colour raster) OS
Opendata maps might be suitable:
http://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/oswebsite/opendata/viewer/
and
https://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/opendatadownload/products.html
You can also obtain all the 1:50,000 scale
contours through LandForm Panorama – available on OS Opendata too.
If you’re interested in an historic
map showing relief - for example, the OS 1:1 million from the 1930s – this
is freely available as a geo-referenced layer at: http://geo.nls.uk/maps/api/ We could
supply the GeoTIFF (and scans of other historic maps), although not for free…
Very happy to be contacted off list if you’d be interested in historic
maps.
