OS Explorer Map 102 LandOS Explorer Map 102 Land's End

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 - midway between Penzance and Marazion

St. Michael's Mount from near Long Rock


Long Rock beach is named after the rocks situated at the mid point of the three mile stretch of beach running from Eastern Green to St. Michael's Mount. This south facing beach consists of sand and patches of fine shingle. There are a couple of good car parks along this coast at the Station House Inn and further east next to the nature reserve of Marazion Marsh. The outstanding feature of the area is the magical St. Michael's Mount, standing over 460 feet above the sea.
