Our story

Old knowledge, drawn clearly.

Northbound Field makes the kind of reference you used to find in the back of a scout handbook or a soldier's field manual, redrawn for the walls of people who still go outside.

Why we exist

Drawn once, checked, made to last

Northbound Field is a small shop for people who like to be ready, whether that means a well-packed go-bag or knowing which way is north on a cloudy night.

Each plate is drawn once, checked against proper sources and listed everywhere from the same files, so the effort goes into getting it right.

Everything here is designed in Britain, for British woods, hills and weather.

  1. 01Checked, not guessed

    Knots, stars, codes and signals are checked against proper sources before anything goes on sale. If a plate could get someone hurt, it carries its sources.

  2. 02Made to be printed

    Two colours, strong type and every size from A5 to A1, so it looks right on a home printer and on a print shop's best paper.

  3. 03British outdoors first

    Our trees, our tracks, our weather and our access rules. No foraging advice, and nothing a ranger would frown at.
