쉬운 처치스토우 주변 하이킹 및 워킹 코스

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.

Nice 5ish Mike walk along the river and around quiet lanes in loop

This plaque commemorates the launch of the first Salcombe Lifeboat in 1869.

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.

Whenever you come across the railway between South Brent and Kingsbridge makes you wonder what was going on in the mind of Dr Beeching.

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.

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.

Best Ginger Ice ever!!
