Sorry for my poor english
it is a very good map. Is is especially focused on Albion as you said.
I regret just few things ( you asked it,
) .
I guess you were not allowed to post a higher full resolution map . May you use a dropbox , so we could download it please?
At the moment, this is still a draft - partly so I can correct any problems with it that people like you identify. When it's finally finished (which will be before Christmas) I will make a larger resolution version available.

Upper than Lackstead I still expected Pagan mountains range and not some hills.
The back in Book 4, replicated in Sleeping Gods, indicates hills rather than mountains in roughly the vicinity I've placed them there. The necessity for a road through the area seemed to make that even more likely.

On the seashore at the west of "The Umber downs", I regret there is no village or town.
That's a deliberate decision on my part. I regard the Umber Downs as basically a wasteland, that extends pretty much to the western shore. It explains why the hills are the colours they are. There might be small settlements on that coast, but they'd be too small to be on the map. This is not a map of every settlement in Ellesland - using the Doomsday Book as a model (which I did) there would be at least 5000 named settlements across Albion alone. To be on the map something has to be reasonably significant.

The small island on the south of Albony should deserve a village,
.
Absolutely - the only reason it doesn't have one yet - as I said, this is a draft - is that I am 99% sure I mapped that island at some point for a game. And I can't currently find that map
I need to go through all my backup harddrives to see if I can find it. I plan to do that this week. I didn't want to map that bit and then feel I needed to change it, but I'd already run a game with different names. If I can't find the original map, I will do that bit again.

Some names of places are diificult to read when they are located above the forest or the vindar hills or pagan mountains etc...(maybe we could write in white capital letters? )
That again is part of the reason for the draft - to see how the colours and fonts I've chosen work or don't work. I'll be fiddling around with that - mostly with the colours - to find something that works better on both screen and paper. The names will also not be blurred the way they are on the final map - that was an effect I don't like for the text, the first time I'd tried it.

The Coronash marsh just splits Cornumbria into 2 parts with no village or town or road inside. (I know you were more focused on Albion,
)
Again, that's deliberate on my part. I don't think there'd be any large settlements in the marsh. It also creates something of a distinction between Northern Cornumbria (which I regard as equivalent to Wales) and Southern Cornumbria (which I see as more equivalent to Cornwall).
