The historic town of Kingsbridge, sometimes thought of as the capital of the South Hams, stands at the head of the Salcombe and Kingsbridge estuary. Whatever the weather, it is well worth exploring with its medieval origins, interesting lanes and passageways. The specialist, and often family-run, shops offer an unexpected variety of items for sale and there are many cafes, pubs and restaurants serving a varied selection of foods to suit all tastes, mostly using local produce.
Throughout the summer months, there are some wonderful events to enjoy, either as a spectator or a participant. Open air concerts take place on the bandstand in the Town Square, next to the quay, every Sunday from June to September. Kingsbridge Fair Week in mid July has activities for all ages. November sees Kingsbridge launch the Christmas season with the Extravaganza, which is a huge local event.
In June 2009 Kinsgbridge became the first in Devon to be acredited as a 'Walkers are Welcome' town. There are many walks to suit all ages and abilities plus a special trail with the town's name spelt out using different varieties of trees.
