Kingsbridge

The market town of Kingsbridge has become a very popular holiday destination that is located within the South Hams district of Devon, England. Kingsbridge has been the main market town in the area for centuries.

Due to its position situated within the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Kingsbridge has become a favourite with outdoor pursuits, such as walking and wildlife watching, and its proximity to the spectacular south Devon coast and sailing venues has further expanded this reputation.

Due to these factors and the many attractions the town has to offer, Kingsbridge has developed into a popular tourist destination. Its streets include several restaurants, pubs, a cinema housed and a museum devoted to the chemist William Cookworthy, born in Kingsbridge. The town centre retains many 18th and 19th century buildings. The town is linked to Plymouth and Dartmouth by the A379 road, and to Salcombe and Totnes by the A381.
