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.
3 miles of golden sand with fine surf this west facing beach is a favourite with surfers but is also large enough to cater for all sorts of beach activities. The dunes behind the beach are known as Braunton Burrows - an important ecological site. The area is privately owned by Christies Estates and the large well set out car park allows excellent access to the sand, sea and dunes. There are some excellent views of Lundy Island from Saunton Sands. All the usual facilities are here.
