What scale are OS Explorer maps and why does it matter?

OS Explorer maps are 1:25,000, so 4cm represents 1km. That detail shows footpaths, field boundaries, access land and contour lines clearly, which is exactly what you want for coast path walking and finding your way along Cornwall's lanes, cliffs and coves.

Do you sell maps as wall art?

Yes. The Planaship Lands End and Isles of Scilly shipwreck map prints are decorative pieces, beautifully detailed and full of maritime history. They make a characterful feature for a hallway or study, and a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves the Cornish coast.

Cornwall Coast Path Maps & OS Maps

A good map is where every coastal adventure starts, whether you're walking a chunk of the South West Coast Path or simply wondering what lies round the next headland. Our small, well-chosen selection covers the essentials, from detailed walking mapping to prints for the wall, so you can plot a route or bring a stretch of coastline indoors.

When it's time to choose where to walk, browse the places we love along Cornwall's coastlines for ideas, then zero in: the path around Sennen near Land's End is a glorious, easygoing way into the far west, with big skies and a beach at the end of it. Pair your map with sensible footwear, check the tide and weather before you head off, and explore at your own pace.
