The South West Coast Path is Britain's longest National Trail, stretching some 630 miles (1014 km) between Minehead in Somerset and Poole in Dorset. It takes in a National Park, 5 Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, National Heritage Coasts and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
This booklet of Ordnance Survey 1:25,000 Explorer maps has been designed for convenient use on the trail, covering the southern half of the route between St Ives and Plymouth. It shows the full and up-to-date line of the National Trail, along with the relevant extract from the OS Explorer map legend. It is conveniently sized for slipping into a jacket pocket or top of a rucksack and comes in a clear PVC sleeve. Two separate booklets cover the rest of the route, from Minehead to St. Ives and from Plymouth to Poole.
The map booklet accompanies a Cicerone guidebook – The South West Coast Path – which describes the full National Trail in 45 stages, with lots of other practical information and local points of interest.
