The Beaches of North Cornwall - N20 - Lundy Bay

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: North Coast - midway between Polzeath and Port Quin

Lundy Hole

Lundy Bay has quite a small beach of sand and rocks as does its more easterly neighbour Epphaven Cove, both beaches only becoming apparent as the tide receeds. The beaches are quite sheltered by the headlands of Carnweather Point and Trevan Point. The main claim to fame for the area is the Lundy Hole - a collapsed sea cave just to the west of the beach. The area has been landscaped by the National Trust but care should still be taken, especially with children. There are no facilities here, but there are excellent cliff walks over the headlands to The Rumps or eastward to Port Quin.
