A beautifully detailed physical 3D topographical map of Great Gable, supplied professionally framed and ready to hang on the wall or display freestanding.
Made using real terrain data, this is an accurate scale relief model of Great Gable in the English Lake District, Cumbria. The map is cast by hand in an aged silver metal finish, mounted on white faux leather, and finished with an engraved wooden title plate fixed with solid brass screws.
The pictured title plate reads:

Personalisation is available, and special versions can also be quoted for.
About the map
The area captured is shown at a scale of 1:15,165, allowing the distinctive terrain of Great Gable and the surrounding western Lake District fells to be displayed in fine detail.
The 3D map itself measures approximately 15 x 15cm.
The frame is a high-quality black wood-effect frame.
Why Great Gable?
Great Gable is one of the Lake District’s most recognisable and imposing fells. Located in the western Lake District, it is a favourite among walkers and is commonly approached from Wasdale, Honister, and the surrounding high passes.
Alfred Wainwright described Great Gable as “the undisputed lord of the group of hills to which it belongs”, a fitting description for one of the most dramatic mountains in the Lakes.
This piece makes a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves Great Gable, the Lake District, fell walking, Wainwrights, Wasdale, Honister, Cumbria, hiking, climbing, or the outdoors.
How it’s made
Each map begins with accurate mapping data, which is processed using modern 3D terrain modelling techniques. From this, an original pattern is produced and a mould is made.
The maps are then cast by hand using a process known as cold casting, where resin is mixed with real metal powders to create a genuine metal-effect surface. Each casting is given an aged patina, polished by hand, mounted, framed, and carefully packed.
Finish options
Available in Bronze, Copper, and Silver finishes. Select at checkout.
Personalisation included
The engraved wooden title plate can be personalised at no extra cost.
By default, the plaque reads:
Great Gable
899m
For the personalised option, your chosen wording will replace the pictured Great Gable title and height text. This makes the piece ideal as a gift, summit keepsake, walking memory, retirement present, birthday gift, anniversary gift, or special personalised display piece.
Please send your chosen plaque text when ordering.
