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.

Mill Bay and Sunny Cove lie on the eastern side of the estuary at Salcombe, roughly opposite Fort Charles and the remains of Salcombe Castle. The southwest facing beaches are sandy and quite picturesque. The waves here are relatively gentle but please be aware of strong undercurrents away from the shore. Dogs are permitted on leads here between May and September.
