Nicholas Crane travels across eight maps that changed the face of Britain in a series of geographical challenges through some of today's wildest landscapes.
4. John Speed's Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine
John Speed was the son of a Cheshire tailor, and he produced some of the most beautiful and famous maps in the world - but he didn't include roads.
Northumberland was one of the first county maps Speed made, and his big innovation, the town plan, is paced out and measured exactly.
Can Nick find his way round Berwick today using Speed's plan?
