Kingsbridge (market town) and Salcombe (sailing) are in the other direction. National Trust properties in the area include Colyton Fishacre and Greenway ( Agatha Christie's home) Take the car to Dittisham or Dartmouth and go by the ferry. If the sun shines sit in the walled garden at Barn Cottage next to the lovely old church of St. James.
