A contour interval is the vertical distance between two adjacent contour lines. It also represents the spacing between two horizontal planes on a topographic surface. On a topographic map, contour intervals are made equal and are inversely proportional to the map scale — the larger the map scale, the smaller the contour interval, and vice versa.

What are contour lines? They’re the squiggly lines on your map that show elevation. Each line represents a specific height above sea level. How to read them: Close together = steep terrain Far apart = gentle slopes Circles = hills or mountains (the smaller the circle, the higher the peak!) Why it matters: Plan routes that match your fitness level Spot challenging climbs before you set off Find scenic viewpoints and avoid unexpected steep descents Pro tip: Combine contour reading with OS Maps’ 3D
