The Wood

Salcombe is a resort town in the South Hams district of Devon, in south west England. The town is close to the mouth of the Kingsbridge Estuary, mostly built on the steep west side of the estuary. It lies within the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). The town's extensive waterfront and the naturally sheltered harbour formed by the estuary gave rise to its success as a boat and shipbuilding and sailing port and, in modern times, tourism especially in the form of pleasure boats and yachting. The town is also home to a traditional shellfish fishing industry. The town is part of the electoral ward of Salcombe and Malborough, for which the 2011 census recorded a total population of 3,353.

Nestled in the heart of the South Hams region of Devon, Salcombe is a popular destination for both locals and tourists alike. The town boasts stunning coastal views, golden sandy beaches, and crystal-clear waters, making it a perfect spot for a beach holiday.

Salcombe is also renowned for its delicious seafood, which is caught fresh daily by local fishermen. Whether you’re looking for a hearty fish and chips meal or a more refined seafood dining experience, Salcombe has something to offer everyone’s taste buds.
