Salcombe

Photogenic little resort town on Devon's south coast, Salcombe sits along the steep western bank of the Kingsbridge Estuary — a sheltered ria that historically supported boat-building, shipbuilding, and sailing, and today draws pleasure boats and yachting. The town retains a traditional shellfish fishing industry alongside its tourism trade, and lies within the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with scenic viewpoints across the estuary and a heritage-dense waterfront.
