Signs say dogs on leads.... slightly annoying, if your dog likes to cool down with a swim.

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.

Currently £4.50 for 🚲 and passenger one way.

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.

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!

You can also start the tour in Marlborough, where you can park for free. Area at Collaton Road, before that you will see a sign with blue P and Free Parking. Close to gas station Co-op Food Petrol.

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).

Views across the river and over to Burgh Island.

The larger of the two beaches at Hope Cove, this bay is great for surfing, with large sandy areas and even a sheltered area which is great for a paddle board! This beach also includes beautiful shells and beachy stones, found in the rocks when the tide is out.
