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 - Just south of Rosemullion Head

From your car at Mawnan Church, walk to the right of the lychgate, passing over a high stile beside a wooden gate. Follow the path as signed 'Footpath to Durgan but turn left at the first opportunity. Zig-zag your way down the wooded valley side, keeping to the obvious path. Climb up the wooden steps out of Mawnan Glebe. Pass above Shag Rock looking ahead to see large ships moored just off Falmouth. Now about 10 minutes into your walk you feel your surroundings are 'less Helford and more Falmouth'. As you leave Nare Point behind look across Falmouth Bay to the small white lighthouse at St. Anthony on the Roseland. Cross a wooden stile into a field and another leading to a footbridge as you near Prisk Cove.


Prisk Cove, just south of Rosemullion Head


Another field leads to the NT property of Rosemullion Head. Cross another stile into a field pock-marked in places with rabbit warrens. Pass around the Head taking the seaward path. Continue parallel with the contours making for the small beach at Gatamala Cove. Climb to a second NT omega as you leave their property of Rosemullion Head.
