This page also offers OS MAPS — Ordnance Survey Outdoor mapping and the OS Explorer 1:25 000 sheets — plus a labelled National Grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid reference readout. See How to Use This Map below. You will find live weather, local and world news further down the page.

OS MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows OS Outdoor mapping — contours, footpaths, bridleways and access land. Explorer 1:25k shows the OS Explorer sheets themselves: the orange-covered 1:25 000 maps walkers, fell runners and mountain rescue teams use, with field boundaries, rights of way and open access land. The search box finds any British town, village or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Ottery St Mary.
Reading the map like a paper Explorer sheet. Click Grid to overlay the OS National Grid, labelled along the edges exactly as a printed sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference such as NY 266 234 by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as an OS National Grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — the grid reference being what mountain rescue and the coastguard work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need mobile coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your grid reference stays correct even where the map itself cannot load, which in the Lakes, the Dales and the Highlands is often exactly where you need it.
Map search is available for a limited number of queries per session to manage costs. Be specific — search precisely for best results.

Ottery St Mary unfolds across the lush, rolling terrain of the River Otter valley, where the light catches the water with a pale, silver clarity. It lies 5.1 miles north-north-west of Sidmouth (from Sidmouth: bearing 339°T, OS grid SY 098 953), and is situated north of Wiggaton village. The landscape bears the marks of early religious influence, as the collegiate church long dominated the local life and economy. Centuries of agricultural industry have shaped the surrounding fields, leaving a legacy of rich, productive soil that remains vital to the region. To the east, the slopes of East Hill rise sharply against the horizon, anchoring the geography in a quiet, enduring permanence. Samuel Taylor Coleridge was born here, the son of the local vicar, and his poetic spirit seems to linger in the damp, mossy air around the ancient Tumbling Weir. The town is defined by the heavy, gothic presence of St Mary’s Church, which mimics the grandeur of Exeter Cathedral in miniature. Each year, the tradition of the Tar Barrels brings a fierce, flickering heat to the streets, a visceral rhythm that contrasts with the stillness of Cadhay House nearby. Ottery St Mary maintains a character that balances such dramatic, fire-lit folklore with the scholarly weight of its historic grammar school. The atmosphere is one of deliberate, rhythmic endurance, where the past is not merely remembered but actively inhabited.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any British town, village or landmark by name; offers OS Outdoor and the OS Explorer 1:25 000 sheets as base layers; overlays a labelled OS National Grid so the map can be read like a printed Explorer sheet; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as an OS National Grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require mobile coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the grid reference remains correct even where the map cannot load.
