The Moorings is an impressive development situated on the water’s edge of the beautiful Kingsbridge/Salcombe estuary and occupies probably the best situation in Kingsbridge.

All the apartments enjoy these superb views from most of their rooms, balconies and/or terraces with vistas down towards Salcombe, across to the wooded banks and meadows on the opposite side and upstream to the town itself. The town, a short walk, approximately one third of a mile on the level along the embankment, has a wide range of interesting shops, restaurants, pubs and a leisure centre. Electric gates secure the entrance to The Moorings and there is a designated parking space for each apartment and further visitor parking. Good sandy beaches within 5 miles.

The lively market town of Kingsbridge sits in a picturesque position in the heart of the South Hams Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and also at the head of the stunning Kingsbridge/Salcombe Estuary. The waterside town is surrounded by green rolling landscape, and is popular amongst walkers and watersports enthusiasts alike, with paddle boarders and kayakers being a common sighting on the town's waters, as well as sailing dinghies and motor boats.
Beach lovers will be spoilt for choice with so many excellent beaches within an easy drive of the town, including Hope Cove, Bantham, Bigbury-on-Sea, Slapton Sands, Blackpool Sands, Beesands, Mill Bay and the beaches at Salcombe's North and South Sands – to name just a few!
With a range of restaurants and pubs as well as a good selection of shops and two supermarkets, Kingsbridge has plenty to offer visitors. For a beautiful day out, take a cruise on the seasonal Rivermaid ferry up the estuary to Salcombe to spend a day on one of Salcombe’s stunning beaches, or pottering around the sailing mecca's shops, cafés and restaurants.
