King Charles III England Coast Path: Visitor Maps
Natural England is a government body advising on and protecting the natural environment. The England Coast Path is one of the largest coastal walking routes in the world, creating continuous public access around the coastline of England. As part of an ongoing collaboration between The Way Design and Natural England, a series of visitor maps and interpretation panels were developed to help walkers explore the route and discover the wildlife and landscapes along the way.
Working as a freelance designer within the team at The Way Design, I helped develop the visual style of the maps and contributed to the icon set used across the project. I created visitor maps, illustrated species including birds and dogs, and designed large-format interpretation panels that aligned with the established brand.
