The humble beginnings of Kingsbridge can be traced back to the 10th century when it was built around a bridge that linked the royal estates of Alvington and Chillington. Over the ages, it matured into a bustling market town, a status the Abbot of Buckfast helped certify in 1219, making Kingsbridge a steadily growing centre for commerce in the South Hams district. Despite never earning representation in Parliament or being incorporated by charter, Kingsbridge thrived under local government led by a portreeve.

Today, with its populace of over 6,000, Kingsbridge enchants with a blend of historical charm and modern amenity. From exploring the local museum dedicated to esteemed chemist William Cookworthy to catching a film at the local cinema or savouring a pint at one of the town's many traditional pubs, there’s never a dull moment in Kingsbridge. Well-served by the A379 road and the A381, Kingsbridge offers easy access to Plymouth, Dartmouth, Salcombe, and Totnes, making it an ideal hub for your Devon adventures.
