A little history
Salcombe sits at the mouth of the Kingsbridge Estuary, one of Devon's most beautiful rias. The town's extraordinary natural beauty, sheltered harbour and Devon climate have made it one of the most sought-after — and expensive — addresses in England. The lime-washed cottages and sailing culture define the village.
The estuary ferry crossings are beautiful. The beach at South Sands. The North Sands for families. The town centre for excellent independent food. Sailing the estuary.
