Need to stretch your legs? At Salcombe’s information centre you can find scenic walking routes suiting families, keen hikers, and the more experienced athletes among us. Every walk incorporates the magnificent South West Coastal Path.
Alternatively, have a gentle meander through Salcombe’s streets. They are brimming with individual boutiques, galleries showing work from local artists, cafes and ice cream shops, plus an award-winning fudge and chocolate shop, Roly’s fudge pantry.
Overbeck’s garden and museum is an absolute must-see. A National Trust property, the house and gardens sit on top of the cliff face. Due to its warm micro-climate, it hosts fascinating semi-tropical gardens. It's perfect for a game of hide and seek, or for avid gardeners and botanists. Afterwards, sit on the lawn and sample the ultimate British delight: tea with fresh scones and a generous dollop of clotted cream, while taking in the spectacular sea view.
Further afield, but definitely worth the effort, is Greenway house and gardens. Another National Trust site, it was the holiday home of adored and celebrated writer, Agatha Christie. Here, you can find the author’s inspiration for some of her most famous work. Delightful for the whole family!
Close to your holiday home, you'll be able to find the old spirit of Salcombe with traditional singers and a local beer or two in the town's classic pubs. The Ferry Inn is worth a visit, with a great location right on the water’s edge.
