As well as the OS maps I referred to earlier, another source of mapping which can be used freely is OpenStreetMap®
Again it is important to attribute the source - see here for details: https://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright.
For a bit of mapping fun, take a look at the 50,000:1 Landranger map of the Isle of Wight.

Start at the Needles and work your way east along the coast to St Catherine's Point, looking very carefully at the detail of the cliffs.
You should be able to see where the cartographers have managed to embed (presumably, their own) names in the mapping detail!
