Illustrated Overhead Marina Map
Client: Tingdene Marinas & Boat Sales
For information on Stourport Marina please visit Tingdene-Marinas.co.uk/marinas/stourport-marina/
Stourport Marina is located in the Worcestershire countryside on the River Severn, with convenient access from the M5 and M42 motorways. Situated around twenty miles south of Birmingham, the marina is well placed for visitors travelling from across the Midlands and beyond. Its connection to the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal makes it an excellent base for inland cruising, with routes that open up much of the national canal network and onward journeys toward the Welsh borders and the South West. The setting combines practical accessibility with the calm character of a rural riverside marina, making it appealing to both long term berth holders and visiting boaters.
This project features a detailed illustrated overhead map created from a digital three dimensional model of the marina. While clearly illustrative, the visual style is deliberately restrained to ensure clarity and ease of use. Berths and key locations are marked with numbered yellow reference points, while marina amenities are shown using clear, easy to recognise icons. Safety features such as life rings and fire extinguishers are also highlighted, helping the map function as a reliable navigational and orientation tool for staff and visitors alike.
The map has been designed to serve both operational and marketing purposes. Stourport Marina plans to produce a durable metal display that allows magnetic labels to be placed over individual slips, making it a flexible and practical marina management resource. At the same time, the illustrated map supports marketing and visitor communications by presenting the marina in a professional, welcoming, and easy to understand format. Custom illustrated maps like this are an effective way for marinas to improve wayfinding, streamline day to day operations, and enhance their public image.
