Kingsbridge

Located at the northern end of Kingsbridge Estuary, this town features traditional buildings, shops, and residential areas along narrow streets leading to the waterfront.

The settlement grew around a bridge constructed before the 10th century between royal estates of Alvington and Chillington, later receiving market rights from Buckfast Abbey in 1219.

The Cookworthy Museum maintains collections of photographs, documents, and artifacts that tell the story of the town's agricultural and maritime development.

The town center contains two supermarkets, multiple independent shops, restaurants, a cinema in the former Town Hall, and regular bus connections to Plymouth and Torquay.

The parish includes two separate churches: St Edmund's with its perpendicular style architecture and St Thomas Becket featuring a preserved medieval rood screen.
