We were fortunate enough to be given copies of the Admiralty charts but unfortunately and to the best of my belief they have never been released for public viewing by the authorities.
I just watched few DVD's of u-boat and battle of atlantic documents. Learning material

Area around Orkney and Shetland island very heavily mined and germans called it the rose garden. Dover strait got plenty of those awful and surprising things too. Entrance to Irirsh sea and areas south of Ireland vere mined too. This was before french atlantic ports. Idea was to prevent access from german u boats to atlantic.

It is very likely there are more areas too.
