OS Explorer Map 103 The LizardOS Explorer Map 103 The Lizard

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 - 3 miles southwest of Falmouth

Durgan Beach


Durgan is a small shingle beach found near the mouth of the Helford River on the northern bank. It also lies at the southern end of Glendurgan Gardens, making it possible to have a dual purpose visit to the area - a walk around subtropical gardens followed by a picnic by the waters edge - very relaxing!. There is no parking at the beach but cars can be left either at the gardens or in the valley above Durgan. There are good walks all around here to destinations such as Helford Passage, Mawnan Smith or Rosemullion Head.
