Doesn't show up yet in all of Streetview.

Useful for stocking up for camping food if you don't want to pay £7.50 plus for a bacon bap in Salcombe.

Very technical on a CX bike in autumn. Runoff scoured channel on steeper gradients, with slab rocks particularly slippy. Narrow single-track very slippy mud on exposed track surface. Likely a lot more fun in the dry and on a mountain bike.

In 1219 Kingsbridge was owned by the Abbot of Buckfast who needed an outlet where the monks could sell their produce: honey, beeswax, candles, soap and mead. So the Abbot petitioned the Crown for permission to hold a market at Kingsbridge and a Royal Charter was granted. As a Market Town, Kingsbridge has thrived through its independent businesses, often family-run for generations and relying upon the local community's support. A small chapel existed on the site of St. Edmund's Church in the 13th century but the burial ground was at Churchstow, a village two miles to the west. In 1309 the parishioners petitioned the Bishop and complained of the difficulty of carrying their dead "up the mountain" to Churchstow for burial. However it was more than 100 years before permission was granted "to the Abbot and monks of Buckfast to build a church in honour of the blessed Edmund, King and Martyr in their demesne and the vill which is called Kingsbrigg". In 1798 the town mills were converted into a woollen manufactory, which produced large quantities of cloth. During the 19th century the town had an active coastal shipping trade, shipbuilding, a tannery and a large monthly cattle market. The chief exports were cider, corn, malt and slate.

It's well worth running along the waterside paths rather than the main road. The views across the Kingsbridge Estuary are gorgeous. It is easy to see why this is such a popular location for sailing and other watersports.
