OS Explorer Map 139 Bideford, Ilfracombe and Barnstaple
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.
Croyde is arguably one of North Devon's best surfing beaches. Its triangular shaped west facing beach of fine golden sand has all the normal facilities and is backed by low dunes. Family friendly but parents should be aware of dangerous undercurrents and rip tides. Jet skis, windsurfing and kitesurfing are NOT allowed. The proximity of a holiday camp makes Croyde very popular in Summer. Out of Season, you can often have the beach to yourself and there are also some excellent views of Lundy Island from the beach. The walk to Baggy Point is a favourite with locals and there are a couple of good sized car parks nearby to cater for this.
