About

Salcombe sits at the mouth of the Kingsbridge Estuary, a flooded river valley where narrow creeks run between steep banks. The harbour is lined with boatyards and moorings; passenger ferries and small launches cross the water to beaches and hamlets that have no road access. Fishing and yachting are part of everyday life, and there is a small distillery in town known for producing gin that uses local botanicals. Footpaths lead up from the quay to viewpoints over the ria and the patchwork of salt marshes and fields inland.

Thurlestone is a coastal village a few miles west, with a beach backed by low cliffs and a rocky outcrop just offshore that shows a circular hole at low tide. Paths from Thurlestone descend to shingle and sand, and the South West Coast Path runs along the cliffs, linking short stretches of shoreline and woodland. Malborough stands inland on a ridge between the estuary and the coast; its lanes and parish church sit among orchards and farmland, and several long-distance footpaths meet here, making it a quiet base for exploring the South Hams countryside.
