The South Sands Hotel Salcombe, Salcombe, England - United Kingdom (GB)
The beautifully appointed rooms and suites offer the ideal place to escape from it all...and relax and unwind. You can see the sea from most of them and almost touch it from the balconies in rooms 9 and 10. And if you are looking for space, our beach suites offer some of the most spacious hotel accommodation in the country. You can also come and sample some fantastic seafood in our restaurant overlooking the bay. Devons favourite restaurateur, Mitch Tonks, has written our menu and it is packed with great flavours from fish caught just off the coast. Pop in for some shrimps on toast, crostini of Salcombe crab or roasted king prawns with garlic and fennel ...there is something to tempt everyone. Alternatively, you might just like to stop by for a cocktail on the terrace. Joe and his team will be more than happy to mix you a sling or a fizz...

Salcombe South Hams Devon.
Salcombe is a popular resort town in the South Hams district of Devon, south west England. The town is close to the mouth of the Kingsbridge Estuary, mostly built on the steep west side of the estuary. It lies within the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). The town's extensive waterfront and the naturally sheltered harbour formed by the estuary gave rise to its success as a boat and shipbuilding and sailing port and, in modern times, tourism especially in the form of pleasure sailing and yachting. The town is also home to a traditional shellfish fishing industry. The town is part of the electoral ward of Salcombe and Malborough, for which the 2011 census recorded a total population of 3,353.
Because of the narrow streets and the priority given to pedestrians, a park and ride scheme operates during the summer from the outskirts of Salcombe. Near Salcombe primary school is a swimming pool. The rugby club is a centre of activities during the winter. A locally flavoured pantomime is put on near Christmas.
The Salcombe Maritime Museum, founded in 1975, has information on the fruit schooners and other items of interest. Temporary exhibitions are arranged each summer mainly with loaned items. Since 1991, the museum has occupied the ground floor of the former council offices and the collections have expanded to fill the two rooms completely.
By South Sands is Overbeck's a house and gardens belonging to the National Trust. In the house are inventions of Otto Overbeck.
Salcombe has numerous walking routes nearby and is on the South West Coast Path. It is also the terminus of NCR 28 from Okehampton, part of the National Cycle Network.
The nearest golf course is at Thurlestone being 6.7 miles from Salcombe and there are various tourist attractions in the district. Dartmouth Golf & Country Club is close to the historical town of Dartmouth and is 16.3 miles from Salcombe. Wrangton Golf Club is 17.8 miles from Salcombe and half of the course is on Dartmoor amongst the sheep and half set in a luscious green valley.
There is a 20m outdoor heated swimming pool in Salcombe which forms part of the Salcombe Primary School. Run by volunteers, it is situated at the top of town on Onslow Road with parking available at the swimming pool.
The pool is open May to September each year and is available for private hire outside of the opening hours.

World's first gin distillery at sea to open and it will serve British gin - The News

For any copyright, please send me a message. If you're constantly searching for that perfect gin and tonic, then you may want to start planning a cruise holiday for 2020. That's because P&O Cruises is set to open the world's very first gin distillery at sea, which will feature on board its brand new ship Iona. The cruise line will collaborate with Salcombe Gin to develop and install the distillery, where exclusive gins will be distilled, bottled and labelled. As part of the venture, Salcombe Gin will also distill the yet-to-be-named recipe, in its 450 litre copper still 'Provident' in Salcome, ready to be shared and served on board all the cruise ships in P&O Cruises' fleet. Oh, and of course there will be gin tastings on offer for passengers. In fact, the gin brand will bring masterclasses on Iona where guests can learn all about the popular spirit and sample a variety of gins, while one class will also let passengers create their own drinks recipe. In a tribute to Iona's ports of call, there will also be limited edition drinks created that will be inspired by the various destinations on Iona's itineraries. You'll have to wait until May 2020 when Iona sets sail on her maiden voyage to check it out for yourself, but the good news is that you can already book Iona sailings online . Angus Lugsdin, co-founder of Salcombe Distilling Co, said: We are extremely excited to partner on this exciting project with P&O Cruises. Our two brands have an amazingly rich and shared history. Read More Cruise holidays At the same time that P&O expanded into leisure cruising in the mid-19th century, the famous Salcombe Fruit schooners were entering their heyday, importing cargoes of precious fruits and spices from the Mediterranean to England's ports and the ships probably passed each other on their voyages. Both brands are kindred spirits, born of the sea with a history of breaking new ground and exploring new horizons. To be responsible for creating a unique gin and distilling it on board the first distillery at sea is a very romantic notion and brings us closer to the intrepid adventurers who travelled the world's oceans seeking out the finest fruits, spices and herbs.

Kingsbridge South Hams Devon.
Kingsbridge is a market town and tourist hub in the South Hams district of Devon, England, with a population of 6,116 at the 2011 census. Two electoral wards bear the name of Kingsbridge (East & North). Their combined population at the above census was 4,381. It is situated at the northern end of the Kingsbridge Estuary, a river that extends to the sea six miles south of the town. It is the third largest settlement in the South Hams, following Ivybridge, the largest, and Totnes.
The town formed around a bridge which was built in or before the 10th century between the royal estates of Alvington, to the west, and Chillington, to the east, hence giving it the name of Kyngysbrygge (King's bridge). In 1219 the Abbot of Buckfast was granted the right to hold a market there, and by 1238 the settlement had become a borough. The manor remained in possession of the abbot until the Dissolution of the Monasteries, when it was granted to Sir William Petre. Kingsbridge was never represented in Parliament or incorporated by charter, the local government being by a portreeve. It lay within the hundred of Stanborough.
Kingsbridge is in fact a combination of two towns, Kingsbridge and Dodbrooke. Dodbrooke was granted its own market in 1257 and had become a borough by 1319. While Dodbrooke was originally considered to be the dominant of the two, Kingsbridge later expanded to include it. The town consists of two ecclesiastical parishes: St. Edmund's in the west and St. Thomas Becket at Dodbrooke in the east. St. Edmund's Church, in mainly Perpendicular style, retains some 13th-century features including a font, but was enlarged and reconsecrated around 1414 and was mostly rebuilt in the 19th century. The parish church of St. Thomas Becket displays a particularly well-preserved rood screen, restored in 1897.
In 1798 the town mills were converted into a woollen manufactory, which produced large quantities of cloth, and serge manufacture was introduced early in the 19th century. During the 19th century the town had an active coastal shipping trade, shipbuilding, a tannery, other industries and a large monthly cattle market. The chief exports were cider, corn, malt, and slate.
The town centre retains many 18th and 19th-century buildings. The Shambles, or market arcade, was rebuilt in 1796 but retains its 16th-century granite piers. The former grammar school, now a museum, was founded and built by Thomas Crispin in 1670.
Kingsbridge has been the main market town in the area for centuries. Being situated within the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and its proximity to the spectacular south Devon coast and sailing venues, such as Salcombe, Kingsbridge has developed into a popular tourist destination. Its attractions include several restaurants, pubs, a cinema housed in the town hall building, and a museum devoted to the chemist William Cookworthy, born in Kingsbridge in 1705.
There are two supermarkets in Kingsbridge: a Morrisons and a Tesco Store, which opened on Valentines Day 2011. It also has a large secondary school, Kingsbridge Community College, which has over 1000 pupils and serves the surrounding area. Kingsbridge is home to the only nightclub in the South Hams, Coast, with the next nearest club being in Torquay.
The town is linked to Plymouth and Dartmouth by the A379 road, and to Salcombe and Totnes by the A381. For seventy years Kingsbridge boasted a railway station until the branch line, via South Brent, was closed in 1963 as part of the reshaping of British railways.

My first collaboration video, YouTube Premieres and Cromer Lifeboat
Excited to announce I've just completed my first collaboration video with a local fellow creator. It was a pleasure to meet up with David from Alarm Media to exchange filming ideas and embrace an exciting day in Cromer, Norfolk, UK. David enjoys filming emergency vehicles, fire engines and lifeboats along our beautiful coast. It was great to catch up with him and chat about YouTube Premieres option that's been introduced recently, I feel it's a fantastic tool to assist smaller YouTubers in building an audience. I've also acknowledged some established creators that have made a difference to me while I grasp the concept of this wonderful platform and learn along the way. I have refrained from including them in my keywords because I don't want it to look like I'm SEO sponging or baiting for subscribers. Far from it, I'm having a blast and loving the journey immensely. I'm just truly grateful to be subscribed to experienced people willing to help with their superb productions. I hope to feature more favorites in future vlogs alongside local enthusiasts to add to my collab list. Of course we had our iconic Cromer Pier as a backdrop and we were blessed with glorious sunshine. Please leave a comment and consider subscribing, enjoy this latest episode.
