New cycle map for Barnsley borough. We've produced a comprehensive cycling map for Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council, helping residents find their way from the steep Pennine lanes around Pen*stone and Holmfirth to the flatter routes of the Dearne Valley near Goldthorpe.

The map categorises every route by type, on-road cycles, traffic-free cycleways, bridleways and footpaths, and highlights Arterial Routes and Principal Town Connections linking Royston, Wombwell, Cudworth, Pen*stone and Hoyland to Barnsley Bike Works. National Cycle Network numbers, parking, cafes, cycle shops, leisure centres and libraries are all marked, with detailed inset maps for Barnsley town centre and Wharncliffe Woods.

The project supports the council's wider cycling commitment alongside Barnsley Bike Works, which runs mobile repair services, a workshop at Barnsley Interchange, and month-long e-bike loans for residents.

Pindar Creative has completed a suite of 18 consultation maps for the Cambridgeshire & Peterborough Combined Authority's (CPCA) Bus Network Reimagined programme, illustrating both the current and proposed supported bus network across nine distinct areas of Cambridgeshire and Peterborough. Completed in June 2026, the mapping forms a key part of an upcoming public consultation on proposed changes to local bus services, inviting residents, passengers, businesses and stakeholders to review proposals for their area and provide feedback before decisions are made.

Rather than a single county-wide overview, Pindar Creative created nine pairs of locally focused maps, each comparing existing and proposed networks side-by-side, so residents can quickly identify the services relevant to their community. The maps use a consistent cartographic style and are supplied in formats suitable for both printed consultation materials and digital engagement platforms.

This project adds to Pindar Creative's extensive portfolio of transport mapping for local authorities, combined authorities and public transport organisations across the UK. Want to know how clear cartography could support your next transport consultation? Get in touch with our team.

With free bus travel for children coming this summer, there's a real chance to get more families out exploring by bus. But the key question for transport authorities and operators is: do passengers actually know where the bus can take them? 🚌

Government plans to offer free child bus travel during the summer holidays are designed to support families with the cost of living while encouraging more people to use public transport. It's a positive step, but the journeys it generates will only happen if the information is there to make them possible.

That's where destination-led maps and visitor guides come in. Rather than presenting routes as lines on a diagram, this kind of travel information connects passengers with real places, experiences and attractions. Think parks, market towns, heritage sites, family days out. Things people actually want to do, shown alongside the bus services that can take them there.

We've been producing exactly this kind of material for years. The Central Bedfordshire Days Out By Bus guide is a great example, combining route information with a curated selection of visitor destinations all reachable without a car. First Bus's Glasgow Visitors Guide does the same thing for leisure travellers in the city, pairing transport maps with the kind of local knowledge that makes exploring somewhere new feel approachable rather than daunting.

As more families consider travelling by bus this summer, good information answers three straightforward questions: where can I go, how do I get there, and what can I do when I arrive? Getting those answers in front of passengers in a clear and engaging way is what we do.

If you're working on summer travel information, leisure guides or destination mapping, we'd love to have a conversation. Read the full article at the link, or get in touch with the team to find out how we can help.

When 70,000 people head to the Principality Stadium for a major event, getting them there and home again safely is a serious logistical challenge. That's exactly why Transport for Wales Trafnidiaeth Cymru appointed Pindar Creative to develop new and improved pre and post-event mapping to help keep things moving.

The maps we produced focus on giving passengers clear, confident guidance before they even leave home. Walking routes between the stadium gates and nearby rail stations are shown with timings, accessible routes are clearly marked, and crowd flow and queuing systems are laid out so visitors know exactly where to go and when. There's also a dedicated bus interchange map showing the nearest stops for routes serving the city on event days.

With Cardiff Queen Street and Cardiff Central both within walking distance of the Principality Stadium, rail is the backbone of event travel for tens of thousands of people. Our mapping supports that by making the journey legible from gate to platform, highlighting which platforms serve which destinations and when queues begin post-event, so passengers can plan confidently and services run more smoothly.

It's a great example of how well-designed wayfinding cartography can play a real role in sustainable travel planning, helping shift journeys away from cars and onto trains, buses, and on foot. Exactly the kind of work we love doing at Pindar Creative.

The UK Government has just published its Third Cycling and Walking Investment Strategy (CWIS3), setting out a bold vision for active travel over the next decade. The strategy includes a target for 55% of all short journeys in towns and cities to be walked or cycled by 2035, and aims for 60% of 5 to 16-year-olds to be regularly walking or cycling to school by the same date. 🚶🚴

Ambitions like these don't happen through infrastructure alone. People need to be able to understand their local network, navigate it confidently and trust that routes connect seamlessly beyond their immediate area. That's where clear, well-designed mapping and wayfinding make a real difference.

At Pindar Creative, supporting active travel goals is something we're genuinely proud to be part of. Whether it's designing wayfinding maps that help people explore a town on foot, or producing cycle maps that make it easier to choose two wheels over four, our work helps turn strategy into something people can actually use.

A recent example is the bespoke wayfinding map we created for Visit Otley's new totem scheme, helping residents and visitors navigate the town centre, discover local attractions and find walking routes with confidence. We've also worked with EPIKS on their Walk, Wheel, Ride project, producing a map designed to make sustainable local journeys more accessible and straightforward.

As local authorities and transport planners work towards the goals set out in CWIS3, we're here to help with the mapping and wayfinding that turns ambition into action. If you'd like to find out more about how we can support your active travel projects, we'd love to hear from you. 🗺️

We're proud to have been appointed by the ForwardMotion initiative to develop a brand new online interactive cycle map for Southend-on-Sea. 🗺️🚲

ForwardMotion is South Essex's active travel programme, funded by Active Travel England, with a mission to help residents swap car trips for cycling, walking, and public transport. From Bikeability training to community engagement and e-bike charging hubs, it's a genuinely ambitious effort to make sustainable travel the everyday norm.

Our role was to create an online interactive cycle map that makes route planning accessible to everyone, regardless of experience or confidence. The map lets users pan and zoom across Southend, toggle cycle route layers on and off, tap into hotspot information for key points of interest and cycle parking locations, and even switch on isochrones to see how far they can walk or cycle from any destination.

It's designed to support Southend's wider active travel strategy and Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan, helping connect residential areas with schools, workplaces and transport hubs, and giving people the confidence to get on their bikes.

You can explore the live map at https://southend.activemap.co.uk

If you work with NHS England commissioning data, you'll know April 2026 brought some pretty significant changes. England went from 42 Integrated Care Boards down to 36, following the latest round of government-approved mergers, and a fair amount of the old map is now out of date.

We've just released the 2026 edition of our ICB map, and it reflects all of those changes. Every new boundary is in there, including the newly formed West and North London, Central East, Essex, Norfolk and Suffolk, Surrey and Sussex, and Thames Valley boards.

Beyond just the updated boundaries, the map shows the seven NHS England regions in a clear colour-coded layout, with all 36 ICBs sitting within them. There's also a boxed breakdown of the clustering arrangements where ICBs are working together, which we think makes it a lot easier to understand how commissioning is actually organised on the ground. London gets its own inset too, because trying to fit the capital's ICBs into the main map at a readable size never really works.

We've also kept in the data that people tell us they find genuinely useful: unique ICB codes, the number of GP practices within each board, and population figures for every region and ICB.

It's available as an A0, A1 or A2 poster, as a dry-wipe version if you need something you can write on and update, and as a high-resolution PDF or JPEG if you need it for presentations, intranet pages or reports.

If you need a bulk order or something a bit bespoke, just give us a call or drop us a message and we'll sort it out.

Fresh off the press - the new Preston & South Ribble Cycle Map, commissioned by Lancashire County Council, has arrived, and we are proud to have designed and produced it. Our team handled the full cartographic design for this updated active travel map, which guides cyclists across safer, traffic-free paths and quieter streets right across Preston and South Ribble. The map highlights national cycle routes, on-road cycle lanes, off-road tracks, CYCLOPS junctions and cycle hubs, all drawn for clarity and easy navigation. It also features the iconic, newly rebuilt Tram Bridge over the River Ribble, restoring a vital link between the heart of Preston and the communities of South Ribble. From accurate route mapping to clean, legible design, this is the kind of detailed cartography we love to deliver.

If you would like to talk to us about map design and production for your own project, get in touch, we would love to help.
