View of Kingsbridge Estuary from Salcombe
It’s like the Mediterranean – only more beautiful! On the south coast of England in the county of Devon on the border of Cornwall is lovely Salcombe. It lies on the banks of the Kingsbridge Estuary, just before it flows into the English Channel. No wonder this area is also called the “English Riviera”.
The estuary forms a natural harbour here and is surrounded by a wonderful hilly terrain. No matter where you stand and look, the blue of the water always combines with the green of the surrounding meadows and the bright colours of the boats. In addition, Salcombe offers lovely beaches and a very special boat connection: The Sea Tractor takes you from the town centre to the beach and back. You board a special vehicle beforehand to make it easy to get onto the flat beach, and this then rolls into the deeper water and allows you to get directly into the boat.
Not far from Salcombe is “Overbecks Garden”. This is nice, but instead of paying the entrance fee, we recommend an extended (free) hike over the fields and cliffs along the coast. Fantastic views reward you at every corner and invite you to want to come back again.
Here’s a little tip for you: Instead of the main road take the small, no, really tiny side roads! Beware: Here you can really learn how to drive with oncoming traffic!
