Joseph Braybrook, who works at the UK Ordnance Survey, has proven himself to be the ultimate builder of worlds, with the creation of this amazing rendering of Great Britain, using extensive geographic data.

You can download the map for free from the UK Ordnance Survey website, which says that Braybrook’s work “has been highly praised by parents and teachers for being a way of engaging children in learning about geography and inspired the Danish government to produce its own Minecraft map.”

Here are some highlights:
