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 - 1.5 miles northeast of Land's End

Above Gwynver Beach

Gwynver Beach lies just to the north of Sennen Beach below Trevedra Cliff. The beach pronounced locally as 'Gwenvur' is slightly more windswept and rocky that its neighbour and is the haunt of the surfing community. Waves have unrestricted access to the beach from the Atlantic Ocean and there can be excellent surf in the right conditions. The two beaches combined make up Whitesand Bay, not to be confused with Whitsand Bay near Rame Head in southeast Cornwall.
