South Hams, Administrative district in South Devon, England.
South Hams extends across coastal areas with beaches, rural landscapes, and multiple towns including Kingsbridge, Salcombe, Dartmouth, Totnes, and Ivybridge.
The district formed in 1974 under the Local Government Act 1972, combining seven previous districts with the administrative center established in Totnes.
The area contains numerous Grade II listed buildings, including Follaton House, which serves as the headquarters for the South Hams District Council.
The district council manages essential services such as waste collection, planning applications, housing advice, and environmental protection across the region.
In 1917, the village of Hallsands disappeared into the sea after the removal of a protective shingle bank altered the coastal dynamics.
