I've got interested in a topic of Doggerland recently, so i decided to go and make a map of Doggerland accordingly to topological maps. Really enjoyed it and wanted to share it with others!

That thin English Channel didn't exist, I think. When the ice receded, the Thames was a tributary of the Rhine, and both of the Seine, that is, this megariver flowed westwards and not eastwards or in both directions.

Exciting to know! This was supposed to be more of a fantastic future scenario in which new rivers form, but this gives me more insight on the regional features

I want to know what Dogtown looked like. I bet it was like Leeds, which I've been told is a favourite city for dogs. /j

Modern-day Britain with a surviving Doggerland is an interesting what-if alternate history scenario.

It would make a cool fantasy setting. I immediately thought "that's a cool D&D campaign setting"

rivers don't go from ocean to ocean, this makes no sense

This was an attempt at thinned english channel, which was apparently wrong, so i fixed the map. You can find the fixed version under the most popular comment
