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.

North facing Woody Bay lies on the North Devon coast approximately halfway between Heddon's Mouth and Lynmouth along the Exmoor Heritage Coast. The beach is breathtaking in more ways than one, not least because of the steep mile long walk from the car park but is well worthwhile once you get there. The beach is incredibly beautiful and has a waterfall, an old lime kiln and some excellent rock pools. The eastern end of the beach is worth a visit but intrepid explorers must take care on the wet rocks and be very aware of the state of the tide so as to not get cut off.
