Absolutely brilliant idea and a great bit of fun, we managed to squeeze three of us in, but it recommends two capacity. Don't forget your pound coin

The striking Start Point Lighthouse is situated on one of the most exposed peninsulas on the English Coast, running sharply almost a mile into the sea on the south side of Start Bay between Kingsbridge and Dartmouth.
Stunning view from the car park, lovely walk along a properly surfaced road to the lighthouse then, as you round the headland, the great reveal. The lighthouse comes into view, right in front of you. very interesting tour guide, Hugh, lots of stories of the human endeavour of being a lighthouse keeper in the early days. Solitude, subsistence and tenacity. Finally, the reason for visiting, the light. Brilliant!!

A fun and interesting local history museum on the main street in Kingsbridge where you can discover the history of Kingsbridge and the South Hams. The museum is based in the old grammar school and you can still see the marks the pupils left. The museum has a large social history collection including our farm gallery, showing the importance of agriculture to the area as well as changing displays and exhibitions focusing on a variety of aspects of local life. The museum also has quizzes, trails and an activity table for children all year round, plus events throughout the year. Check out our Facebook page for more details about events.
Fascinating museum packed with unusual and interesting artifacts. Housed in an old Grammar School which in itself is also interesting, with original "graffiti" scored in the wooden panelling by former schoolboys.There is also a delightful garden with an exhibit of historic agricultural machinery housed under a covered barn. Volunteers lovingly maintain the equipment. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff too! Recommended.

The Sherman which was recovered from the sea nearby has been restored and preserved to provide a reminder of Exercise Tiger and to ensure that we remember those brave men of all sides who fought and died for their flag and cause.

The Kingsbridge Tranquillity Trail is a circular walk that starts at the Information Centre where a free guide can be collected. It allows you to appreciate quiet places and nature even in the midst of a thriving town. The route includes a very scenic quayside walk, a hidden garden with old Lime Kiln, a secluded path alongside an ancient mill stream, attractive parks and a Community Garden.
