Could you tell me where the "Channel Isles" are located? In your map there's a number but no island is drawn.
ReplyDeleteChannel Islands are actually an archipelago formed by for small islands, they are so small that they are not represented on maps of the kind I gave you because they are not very detailed. It is enough to locate them between Southern England and France, just in the Channel. You can visit this website to check it.
