Salcombe

Background

Salcombe is at the heart of west country sailing. Now mostly a fashionable tourist destination, for centuries it has been an important fishing and shipbuilding town. The ruined forts near the entrance date back to the English Civil War, and there are still many concrete reminders of the 2nd World War, when Salcombe played host to thousands of troops and ships in the run-up to D-day.

During the holiday season, Salcombe and the estuary is thronging - with yachts rafted 3,4 or 5 to every visitors buoy. However, as soon as the children go back to school, the estuary calms down and you'll be able to find peace once more on the water.
