SW Coast Path Dorset Adventure Atlas

The A-Z Adventure series features the accuracy and quality of OS 1:25000 mapping in a convenient book, complete with index.


An innovative concept, the A-Z Adventure series utilises Ordnance Survey 1:25000 mapping in a book, therefore eliminating the need to fold and re-fold a large sheet map to the desired area. OS 1:25000 is Ordnance Survey's most detailed mapping, showing public rights of way, open access land, national parks, tourist information, car parks, public houses and camping and caravan sites.


Unlike the original OS sheets, this A-Z Adventure Atlas includes a comprehensive index to towns, villages, hamlets and locations, natural features, nature reserves, car parks and youth hostels, making it easy to find the required location quickly. Each index entry has a page reference and a six figure National Grid Reference. At a book size of 240mm x 134mm it is the same size as the standard folded OS map.


The South West Coast Path is a National Trail along the Somerset, Devon, Cornwall and Dorset coasts. This stunning walk from Minehead, Somerset covers 630 miles to South Haven Point in Poole Harbour, passing through two World Heritage Sites (the Jurassic Coast and the Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape), Exmoor National Park, Land's End and many areas of outstanding natural beauty.


This A-Z Adventure Atlas of the SW Coast Path Dorset features 36 pages of continuous Ordnance Survey mapping covering the SW Coast Path from Lyme Regis, following the route east, to its finishing point at South Haven Point in Poole Harbour. The alternative shorter route along the South Dorset Ridgeway is also shown. Clearly highlighted in yellow, to stand out from the many other footpaths, the path is easy to identify. In addition mileage markers have been introduced to the map making it easy to gauge distances when planning your own sections of the walk to enjoy.
