Salcombe

Katie and I think Salcombe is one of the best seaside locations in England and we have been holidaying here for over 45 years. Around 8 years ago, we bought Skylark and made it our home, with Katie running an Airbnb and I have been travelling back to his photography studio in Earls Barton each month. Coming from Northamptonshire, the first thing you notice is the clarity of the air and the views over the the sea and the beaches; they are simply stunning! We never tire of gazing out to sea and watching the little boats bobbing up and down on the waves. If you come to Salcombe, you really need to see it from the water. There is nothing like a trip up the estuary on a rising tide to visit the Millbrook Inn or crossing over to Smalls and spending time on this stunning beach watching the yachts racing in front of you. Salcombe has a kind of micro climate, so it can be raining on Dartmoor but bright sunshine in Salcombe. It is something to do with the fact that that Salcombe is on a little peninsular and is kept warm by the sea. Much of the coastline around Salcombe is owned by the National Trust and no visit to Salcombe would be complete without a walk through the famous Tor Woods towards Overbeck's and Bolt Head. We love walking around Bolt Head and then calling at the South Sands hotel for a well earned glass of cider!
