The town is very well placed for access to the coastal resorts like Salcombe, Thurlestone, Bidbury, Dartmouth, Plymouth and Torcross. It is a very typical Devon market town with many good quality eateries and interesting sites to visit. A well maintained recreation ground next to the promenade beside the estuary, with a reasonably priced carpark adjacent.
I am glad to say that the Kingsbridge main shopping street has not yet been swallowed up by multi-nationals. It does have a Costa Coffee, but it is the only big brand so far. Happily, Fore street has not yet become another clone of the main shopping streets in so many other towns. It still has local butchers, bakers, green grocer, and a toy shop along with interesting gift shops, shoe shop, cafes etc. One of it's assets is the many Cafes and eating establishments which cater for just about ever kind of taste. They are very varied and everything from a spicy Indian or Chinese dish to an organic salad can be found. There are several pubs which are in and around the Estuary area and most serve food so you can eat and enjoy a coffee or beer inside or out. There is Farmers market which is held on the first and third Saturdays each month, and weekly market every Tuesday. If you enjoy a rummage, there are some good charity shops, and excellent second hand emporiums located in the small industrial area behind the shops, accessed down Mill Street at the bottom of Fore Street. The Leisure Center has a swimming pool and if you are feeling energetic, a gym, squash courts and exercise classes, and an on site cafe. The best way to see Kingsbridge is on foot, and there are two large (pay and display) car parks, one at each end of town. Kingsbridge is a classic country small town with amenities for local and visiting people. It's peaceful and relaxing within a lovely tree lined estuary setting.
A lovely, friendly town. Been there a few times as we have relatives living in south Devon and we often dine there at the Crabshell. We've pretty much gone though most of their menu and have always enjoyed their food. Great in warmer weather to sit next to the estuary. There are renovations due to be completed end of March 2017 and with a new chef and additional menu it's going to be even better. Oh yes, as for the sticky toffee pudding, well I always have two, it really is truly scrumptious!
Kingsbridge is not only a lovely place to visit, it is also a great hub for getting to other places. Good shopping and eating places.Do try Cafe Asia. It has been run by the same marvellous hostess for 12 years. Good access to lovely beaches. Quirky pubs.
Kingsbridge is a very pleasant town, with a very nice High Street (Fore St.) given the size of the town. Plenty of places to eat! And lots of nice shops, including two major supermarkets. It is situated between Plymouth and Dartmouth -- both well worth a visit -- but also between the coast (cliffs, Coastal Path) and the Dartmoor. This is excellent hiking country. The roads in the South Devon AONB can be very very narrow -- even some of the A-roads are surprisingly narrow -- but the destinations are always worth the drives. Ask at the tourist information centre on the quay about live music -- the whole South Hams area is teeming with opportunities to enjoy a nice evening of music.
If you love the hustle and bustle of a traditional English market town, you’ll love Kingsbridge. Situated in the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Kingsbridge sits on its own estuary and is surrounded by lush, green rolling countryside, making it perennially popular for walking and sailing. The town attracts a lot of tourism yet manages to keep a tranquil charm and friendly atmosphere.
