This booklet of Ordnance Survey 1:25,000 Explorer maps shows the full line of the section of the National Trail between Plymouth and Poole, providing all the mapping you need to walk the trail in either direction. It is conveniently sized for slipping into a jacket pocket or top of a rucksack.
Two separate booklets cover the route from Minehead to St Ives and from St Ives to Plymouth. The map booklets accompany the 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.
The South West Coast Path is Britain's longest National Trail, stretching some 630 miles (1014km) between Minehead in Somerset and Poole in Dorset.
