Check tide times before you walk this route - this may be obvious on a tidal road, but don't be caught out by rising waters! There is just enough space for cars to slowly pass you, though you may have to stop and give way at some points.

Instagram ready photo spot. Steep downhill to get here. Steep uphill to escape.

Low-traffic route out of Salcombe, but >17% climb, via single track road in cutting that stays damp and slippy due to tree cover and high bank sides. Best to stop for a cake and coffee in Salcombe to recharge before attempting!

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.

The tidal road is fun, but don't get caught out. The road gets covered quickly when the tide starts to come in, and you can get stranded.

There are certainly many highlights here, the special being the South Sands Ferry. There is no dock at the South Sand. A kind of tractor drives into the water there, where the ferry then docks. Very picturesque!

Salcombe is cute, indeed, but frankly, also a bit posh. If you prefer more the nature and quietness, than better stay on this side of the estuary. Maybe you fancy a coffee with a view of Salcombe at Venus Cafe, just behind the steps down to the ferry quai?

The ferry (yepp, it’s the vessel on that picture) goes back and forth permanently between Salcombe and East Portlemouth Beach from ~8am to ~6:30 pm. Fare for adults is 2.30 pounds each (2023).

quite idyllic - the far end of Salcombe

Best Ginger Ice ever!!

A flat scenic stretch of cycling on a tidal road that may be covered in water during a spring high tide as well as two hours before and after.

This is a nice place to sit and watch the world go by and there are plenty of places to refuel and rehydrate around the harbour Despite appearances, this isn't a river at all, its is a ria, and inlet from the sea created by a drowned valley.

The ferry takes foot passengers between Salcombe and East Portlemouth across the Kingsbridge Estuary. Despite being small in size, it does take bicycles (currently £1 each).

Salcombe really is absurdly picturesque. To get a real feel for just how colourful is it, catch the ferry across to the eastern shore and admire the village from across the water. The beaches on the eastern shore are particularly lovely as well, and make a great excursion from Salcombe itself.
