OS Explorer Map OL20 South DevonOS Explorer Map OL20 South Devon

This map is part of the Ordnance Survey's Explorer series designed to replace the old Pathfinder map series. At 1:25,000 scale this detailed map shows a host of attractions including gardens which are open to the public, nature reserves and country parks as well as all official footpaths, bridleways, roads and lanes. Other facilities covered include: camping and caravan sites, picnic areas and viewpoints, selected places of interest, rights of way information for England and Wales, National Trail and Recreational Path routes, and selected tourist information. The series is aimed mainly at the experienced map user but can be used by tourists and locals alike.

Otherwise known as Sedgewell Cove, Bigbury is a large southwest facing crescent of golden sand in South Devon. The nearby Burgh Island is well worth a visit at low tide or by the unusual sea tractor. The beach is very popular with families as well as surfers. Good facilities.
