The Beaches of East Cornwall - E25 - Par Sands

OS Explorer Map 107 St Austell & LiskeardOS Explorer Map 107 St Austell & Liskeard

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 - Par, St. Austell.

Par Sands

Par Sands lie just to the east of the giant Imerys (English China Clays) drying works at Spit Point. The beach is made up of quite coarse sand and hasn't too much to endear it to the casual visitor. The backdrop of the Imerys plant rather spoils what would be a good sized beach worth visiting anywhere else. There is however an excellent cliff walk southeast to the almost hidden harbour and beach at Polkerris.
