Kingsbridge
Blessed with rolling countryside and stunning beaches, Kingsbridge promises a wonderful holiday destination for families looking for a blissful rural-meets-seaside self-catering escape in Devon.
Sitting on its own estuary, the town was constructed around a bridge built in the 10th Century between two royal estates, which gave its fitting name ‘Kingsbridge’. These days the pretty market town is home to a traditionally English high-street set upon cobbled streets and quaint passageways full of independent shops, an old-fashioned cinema and a collection of quintessential pubs and restaurants.
Kingsbridge is full to the brim of outdoor activities to delight the entire family. Home to a unique abundance of wildlife, take a ferry and sail from Kingsbridge to Salcombe to experience Kingsbridge from the water. For more active seaside explorations, head to the nearby sandy beaches of Bantham, Thurlestone and Slapton Sands for kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding and surfing opportunities.
