The village of Kingston, nestled deep within picturesque South Hams countryside, and located within a stone's throw of the South West Coast Path, is perfectly situated for exploring this stunning stretch of coastline and enjoying far-reaching sea views from dramatic cliff tops.
Kingston itself has a 16th century pub, and lies less than a mile from the attractive village of Bigbury which boasts a fabulous 18 hole golf course, a great local pub with Italian restaurant, The Pickwick Inn, a village store, and the popular seafood restaurant, The Oyster Shack.
Two miles south west you will find Bigbury-on-Sea and the renowned Burgh Island, with its art deco hotel and Agatha Christie/Poirot connections, along with its pub, The Pilchard Inn – the former smugglers' haunt dating back to the 14th century, where time almost seems to have stood still. This wonderful, unspoilt little island has been featured in many films, is a natural bird sanctuary and can be reached on foot at low tide, or by the iconic Burgh Island Sea Tractor at high tide.
The beach at Bigbury offers all you could wish for from a beach – acres of sand, excellent for castle building (and burying the relatives!), cricket, volley-ball, and the waves and wind necessary for surfing, windsurfing and kite-surfing. It is also a wonderful spot for dogs in the low season, as they can race along the beach, yet remain in full view of their owners! Dog restrictions apply in the high season, however, there are some sections of the beach which you are still able to enjoy with your four-legged companion.
Neighbouring Bantham beach, on the opposite side of the Avon estuary, is set in a fabulous setting, where one can imagine being in some far-away romantic place, especially amid the sand dunes. It is extremely popular with families, couples, and surfers, wind surfers and kite surfers. The Sloop Inn, located in the tiny village itself, is frequented by holidaymakers and locals alike.
