Pages: 17 (including cover and credits). Sizes: A4 (210 × 297 mm) and US Letter (8.5 × 11 in), both PDFs included in one zip.

Printing: Print at 100% / actual size on A4 or US Letter. Inside pages use light backgrounds and print well in black and white; covers are dark, so start from page 2 to save ink. The KS2 order and sorting cards are meant to be cut out.

Every fact is checked against named source pages from Cadw, UNESCO and the Department for Education (checked 31 Oct 2026), and the sources are listed on the pack’s credits page.
