OS Explorer Map 104 Redruth & St AgnesOS Explorer Map 104 Redruth & St Agnes

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 - 0.5 mile west of Newquay

Above Crantock Beach

Crantock Beach is quite large at low tide but the beach disappears rapidly on an incoming tide due to its very flat nature. It lies between the headlands of Pentire Point West and Pentire Point East. It is bounded on the northeastern side by the River Gannel. Somewhat quieter than its near neighbour Fistral Beach, Crantock is more of a family beach. There is less surf here and dunes overlooking the beach are often a haven for sunbathers. There are good coastpath walking opportunities southwest towards Porth Joke and Holywell Bay.
