Description

Located on the southernmost coast of Devon in England, Salcombe is equidistant from Plymouth, Torbay and the A38. It boasts a very mild climate and is popular with walkers, sailors or those simply wanting a slower pace of life away from busy city life! Salcombe lies at the mouth of the its "estuary", a truly amazing ecosystem of near Mediterranean climate which provides a home for many species of birds and plant life seldom found in Britain.

Salcombe boasts some of the best sailing waters in the UK, sheltered for dinghy sailing and windsurfing. It is also within range of many amazing diving points. For the landlubbers, there are beaches, galleries, museums and scenery filled coastal walks. There is plenty of accommodation to choose from, including campsites, B&Bs, friendly family hotels and the larger prestige hotels.

Salcombe Harbour provides a natural haven for nature and humans alike. Birds flock here in thousands and the estuary supports a wealth of plant and fish life, some of which is extremely rare. The region's warm (almost Mediterranean) climate enables many species of plant to flourish here, even if they are found nowhere else in the United Kingdom. Dolphins and basking sharks are just some of the frequent visitors to the estuary waters, which also form one of the UK's most popular ports for yachtsmen. The town's main street (Fore Street) runs parallel to the waters edge, frequently sending alleyways out up the steep hillside to the rest of Salcombe, or to small quays dotted along the water's edge.
