So Maps – Independent comprehensive guides to your city. Bath and Bristol.

Our Maps

Bath

Our Bath map includes the iconic architectural landmark the Royal Crescent, the world‑famous and the multi‑award winning Roman Baths. It also highlights the quirky, the best kept secrets and the must‑see hideaways that only the locals know about.

Bristol

Our Bristol map clearly shows Brunel’s Clifton Suspension Bridge and his SS Great Britain, an award‑winning tourist attraction together with the multi‑media centre at the Watershed. We have also been mindful to highlight the weird and the wonderful that Bristol also offers.

About us

Bath So Maps was launched in July 2014, providing Bath with a new, easy to use map and guide of Bath. We started the map as there was a clear gap in the market, realising this after being asked countless times for directions in Bath and so created So Maps to provide the type of map we find useful when traveling to new cities.

Our mission is to help visitors and tourists to cities make the most of their stay by providing a beautiful, hand‑drawn, clearly laid out map of said cities. Over the last year we have provided these maps to over 30,000 tourists in Bath and Bristol, selling from over 200 shops, restaurants, attractions and hotels. We feel this is only the start for So Maps, and by the end of 2015 will offer a free companion app to accompany the new 2016 Bath So Map.

2014

So Maps Ltd launched its first map Bath So Maps in July 2014 as a paper version. Having personally been asked countless time for directions I decided to produce the most useful and beautiful map of Bath I possibly could to help visitors and tourists find their way around our beautiful city and make the most of their time here. It has proved extremely popular with both local businesses and tourists, and is available from over 135 outlets in and around Bath where over 45,000 maps have been distributed.

2016

The Bath So Maps App is a joint venture with local app developers Bearded Hen. It can be a stand alone app or compliments the attractive paper version. The advantages of the app is that we have been able to get together with local retailers around the city to make some superb offers, including 10% discount off entry to most museums including the Roman Baths, a saving of £1.55 a person or £4.60 for a family of four. It also has the useful directions function button.

2017

App now translated into Spanish, German and Mandarin, with the added app audio functions, with the introduction of our Historical Audio Tour. We are working with a local tour guide, Mike James and are very proud of helping visitors discover parts of Bath they may not have found otherwise.

We are always interested to hear ways in which we can develop relationships with other local companies, and shall in the next year be expanding our range of Maps in other tourist destinations.
