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.

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.

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

Come inside the Old Grammar School and discover the story of Kingsbridge and the South Hams. In our galleries you will find both permanent displays and special exhibitions showing how the people of the area have lived, worked and played over many generations. A highlight of your visit may be viewing our collection of photographs from the 1870s to the present day – or a visit to our Local Heritage Resource Centre for personal research and access to our archives and local records. Whatever your interest there’s something for all the family in this lively local museum, rain or shine …

The road runs out here but there's a short stretch of coast path you can push the bike along over to the next headland where you can pick up asphalt road again rather than cutting back inland. Not advisable with cleats on though.

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.

South Milton Sands is a large, pretty sandy beach. Great for some sand sprints. The coast path doesn't go down to the beach, but it's worth a detour if you aren't going for an FKT.

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.

Okay, let’s talk about great food and fantastic service close to the SWCP…the White Hart Inn is a must visit place if you want to have a fine dining experience with service to match in a pub setting. We stayed here for two nights and it was by far the best dining experience we had on our walk this year. What at first appears to be a normal pub/inn on a busy street in Modbury turns out to be something rather special. We had a lovely meal but it was the service which really made the evening something to remember. Definitely recommend…you will need to book in advance!

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?

Views across the river and over to Burgh Island.

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.

Beautiful large sandy beach with Thurlstone Rock arch and a National Trust cafe.

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.

Nice seating area below to enjoy the views of the harbour too.

Hill Dow but worth it

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.
