Description
The coastal path from St Ives to Plymouth.
This section of the South West Coast Path leads you along a varied coast featuring cliffs, beaches, fishing harbours, and estuaries. The map booklet compiles the maps for the stretch between St Ives and Plymouth, making it easier to follow how the continuous hiking trail connects the coast’s many diverse landscapes.
OS maps in a compact format.
Ordnance Survey Explorer maps at 1:25,000 provide a detailed overview of the path itself and the surrounding terrain. The marked route can be followed in both directions, and an excerpt of the map legend is included. The format is designed to be easy to carry and use during your walk.
Map section of a larger hiking series.
This is volume two of three map booklets for the South West Coast Path, and the product covers only the specified section. It is primarily a navigation aid. For ongoing route descriptions and more comprehensive trip planning, a separate Cicerone guide to the entire coastal path is available and can be a useful supplement.
Plan your coastal stages according to the terrain.
Coastal walking often involves repeated ascents and descents, even when the distance on the map seems modest. Some sections are steep and exposed. The maps help you visualize the route between accommodations, while updated information on weather, ferries, and local conditions should be included in the practical planning of each stage.
A long tradition of hiking guides.
Cicerone has published guidebooks since 1969. The publisher emerged among climbers and mountaineers who wanted to share thorough knowledge of their routes – a tradition that still characterizes these compact books for walking, trekking, and other outdoor experiences.
