47 EXPLORE SOUTH DEVON
KINGSBRIDGE Kingsbridge is a busy market town with lots of independent shops, art galleries and cosy cafés - it’s the perfect place for a little mooch around. There are plenty of historic buildings to explore including an 18th century market arcade (The Shambles), the Old Town Hall (now a cinema), and the Cookworthy Museum (in an old grammar school).
What to do Watersport lovers should head down to the estuary for kayaking, sailing and stand up paddleboarding. Smaller visitors will be delighted by a mini train which chuffs along the embankment in the summer.
Where to eat
Harbour House is a popular arts and yoga centre with a modern vegetarian café overlooking the main gallery. The Crabshell Inn serves dressed lobster and other delights right by the water.
What to look out for in 2024 Kingsbridge Fair Week: 20th Kingsbridge Show: 7th

SALCOMBE Salcombe is a place to mess about on the water with all the glamour of Saint Tropez. Nestled into the banks of the Kingsbridge Estuary the town is surrounded by glorious sandy beaches and is a mecca for sailing enthusiasts. There’s plenty to explore in the centre including Cranch’s sweet shop - a must for younger visitors!
What to do Head over to South Sands to explore Overbeck’s, a National Trust property with subtropical gardens. A seasonal ferry runs between the town pontoon and South Sands where passengers are taken to shore by an unusual land tractor. Join the Kingsbridge Salcombe Ferry for a leisurely trip between the towns or take one of their extended harbour & creeks cruises, which provide an even greater experience of the local scenery and wildlife.
Where to eat For a spot of luxury and a beautiful view Salcombe Harbour Hotel has an all-day seafood bar & grill. At nearby North Sands the popular Winking Prawn is open all year for a bucket of prawns or a juicy steak.
