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.

Location: South Coast - near Pentewan

Portgiskey looking east to Black Head


A small cove of sand and rocks dwarfed by the larger resort of Pentewan Sands to the north. Well worth a visit especially if while walking south towards Mevagissey. The ruined buildings here are former Pilchard Cellars. The undulating headland across the bay is Black Head, Trenarren - another excellent place to visit if walking northeast along the coastpath. All facilities a short distance away at Pentewan Sands.
