These include Overbeck’s Museum and Garden, a hidden subtropical paradise managed by the National Trust, tucked away on Salcombe’s cliffs, offering breath-taking views of the estuary and coast.

Those looking for more of a party atmosphere might like to book holiday accommodation during the Salcombe Town Regatta.
