Devon Itinerary

The South Hams, Salcombe and Hope Cove

Still in the South Hams today we visit Start Point with its famous light house, and aim for lunch at a famous pub in East Prawle, The Pig's Nose.

We reach the Kingsbridge estuary via a beautiful downhill stretch and take a ferry across the estuary to Salcombe.  There's something a bit unworldly about Salcombe - it's beautiful, completely devoted to sailing, and very well-to-do.  But as somebody once asked me "Don't they have any proper shops?  What do the locals do if they want a haircut or a pint of milk?"  We're visiting, not house-hunting, so enjoy one of the most stunning panoramas of the week.

Tonight we stay at Hope Cove, a delightful, hidden cove with spectacular views across Bigbury Bay to Burgh Island.
