It sounds like the Philips "Navigator" road atlas. It covers most of the UK at a scale of one and a half miles per inch, which is about the most detailed you can get in an atlas of the whole UK! It shows footpaths and tracks as well as farms .......

Or you can get a "Truckers" version of the same atlas, which also shows bridge heights........

If they are too bulky, you can also get the smaller Philips "Street Atlas" series. They have a slightly bigger scale, but they only cover one county area in each book. I have a few of these for the counties that I visit most (along with dozens of individual Ordnance Survey maps!).......

Hope this helps!
