South Hams Central – Swim, Walk & History

This is my personal guide to the South Hams coast line from East Prawle to Bantham

Including:

• East Prawle
• East Portlemouth
• Kingsbridge Estuary
• Salcombe
• Soar Mill
• Hope Cove
• Thurlestone
• Bantham

Each location includes

• fabulous photos
• a guide to the suitable swimming locations
• directions and a couple of suggested walks (three in the case of Kingsbridge Estuary), inluding maps
• a local or suitable poem
• the history of the location and some local stories
• some suggestions on where to get refreshments
• the author’s own experiences there
• some other great tips

  Swim – Where are the best places to swim? What is the water like? How busy does it get? Is the water likely to be polluted? Can dogs use the beach?
  Walk – How do I get there? Is there a good walk I can enjoy and what are the details? What are the points of interest?
  History – Read about the local history & the legends. Shipwrecks, aristocrats turfing the locals off their land, etc

This book is a must for anyone who lives, visits, swims, walks or just loves the South Hams
