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: North Coast - 1 mile southeast of St. Ives

Porthreptor or Barrepta beach is probably better known as Carbis Bay and a halt on the St. Erth to St Ives railway branch line. To the west along the very pleasant coast path lies the bustling resort of St. Ives, to the east lies Lelant with its Golf Links and picturesque church - part of the St. Michael's Way - used by pilgrims in olden times. Little visited in winter, Carbis Bay really comes alive in the summer holidays much the same as St. Ives.
