The Jewel of Devon

Tour Highlights:

• Salcombe – including East Portlemouth and North Sands

• Kingsbridge

• Beesands - arguably the home of the best fresh crab sandwich in the world (according to us)

• Slapton Sands - take in the famous WW2 memorial

• Blackpool Sands, Strete and Stoke Fleming

• Dartmouth

• Ferry from Dartmouth to Greenway - holiday home of the world’s most famous crime writer (no, not Figgy), Agatha Christie

• OR - take the ferry across the mouth of the River Dart to Kingswear and jump on the iconic Dartmouth Steam Railway to Paignton, passing through Churston Ferrers

Here we take in the stunning beauty of the South Hams area, named from the old English word ‘hammes’, meaning ‘sheltered place’. It stretches from the edge of Torbay to Plymouth, taking in parts of Dartmoor National Park and some of the most beautiful coastline to rival anywhere in the world. It is considered to be one of the most desirable areas of Devon to live and includes the picturesque town of Salcombe and the iconic Burgh Island.

Diet be Damned!

Is there anything more decadent than lunch or a cream tea on Burgh Island, sitting amidst the beautifully restored art-deco features? Or if you prefer, let us pack you a bespoke picnic to enjoy on the beach. Figgy also enjoys relaxing in the peace and tranquillity of Greenway's gardens, with a freshly made cheese scone. Blackpool Sands have a lovely cafe right on the beach.

Mix it Up!

• Burgh Island, Bigbury on Sea - one of Agatha Christie's treasured spots. Indulge in lunch or an afternoon tea (booking essential)

• The Winking Prawn - one of Phil and Figgy's favourites (and Rod Stewart's too)

• Salcombe Gin Distillery

• Dartmouth Castle
