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 - Signed off the A390 near St. Austell

Looking east to Du Porth beach


'Du Porth' means 'Two Coves' in the Cornish Language. Although the name has now been shortened to Duporth it should still be pronounced 'Dew Porth' rather than 'Dupporth'. Duporth lies along a stretch of intermittent beaches between Porthpean to the southwest and Charlestown (Polmear) and Carlyon Bay (Crinnis) beaches to the east. All the beaches around here are quite popular in summer due to their proximity to St. Austell. Just above Duporth lies the Duporth Holiday Village so arrive early to 'book your spot'! There are some delightful coastal walks around here with one of the best being the short walk to Charlestown with its sailing ships, harbour and Visitor Centre.
