Get an OS map, 1:25k should be okay.
Look for any monument symbol, pub, well, tumuli etc. Draw a little circle around it.
Then join the dots! As long as you've identified enough of them, you are almost sure to find three or more that fall on a roughly straight line.
That's what ley lines are. That's all they are, a product of generic labelling by the ordinance survey, and an active imagination. And they are as good an excuse for a ramble in the country as any - I love 'em.

No, but I can advise you on how to make one!
Similar to the first posters suggested idea, although you only need concentrate on ancient sites and churches, the older the better. This does however, take time and a certain amount of research or personal knowledge of the ages of most churches, ie: the style in which they are built are good indicators(as you probably know, churches were regularly erected on sacred pagan sites of worship, the majority of which, were on Ley lines).
Choose an Ordinance Survey map(as was suggested) and correlate that, with maps showing places of special interest. You may notice many 'Cairns' and even very old avenues of trees fall along the straight lines you will get that will be representative of the Ley Lines you are after. Stonehenge is a good place to start, as(if my memory serves me correct) there are eight Ley's that cross each other there. Glastonbury is another, although having fewer Ley's.
Best of luck in your endeavor!

I'm sure if you go into your local Library then you will find a book on the british isles and their ley lines

In addition to the suggestions already mentioned, you could try dowsing for the ley lines as well.

There are no known 'maps' of UK leylines. Sorry!

you probably don't need one - any standard map hatched with straight lines at random will do.
