Salcombe ~ South Hams ~ Devon |
|||||||||
Surrounded by picturesque villages, stunning coastal
scenery and beautiful beaches, Salcombe is the perfect holiday
destination for all age groups. The gentle, emerald green slopes of the South Hams hills form a spectacular backdrop to the crescent shaped estuary, which is brought spectacularly to life by the myriad of white sails that wind their way too and fro across it.
Salcombe has something for everyone; beaches, watersports, coastal walking, tiny side streets with varied shops and a wide choice of restaurants and public houses. Map of Salcombe
and the Surrounding Area
Salcombe was the home port for a fleet of fast
yacht-like clipper schooners. The fleet's pace enabled them to get the
first of the seasons fruits, such as oranges from the Azores and Pineapples
from the West Indies, to the markets ahead of the competition. Salcombe and the surrounding areas links to its maritime past and local trades are portrayed in the Museum of Maritime and Local History at Custom Quay in Salcombe and the nearby Overbecks Museum in Overbeck's House at Sharp tor. |
