LOCATION
The
South Hams of South Devon
is an area of exceptional beauty and contrast with river estuaries, rolling hills
and thatched cottages surrounding the lovely old towns of Dartmouth, Totnes, Kingsbridge,
Salcombe, Modbury and Ivybridge.
The area enjoys one of the mildest
climates in the whole of Britain. Indeed, the name "Hamme" is an old
English word meaning enclosed or sheltered place. With Spring arriving early,
long summers, warm autumns and mild winters, you can safely choose to visit at
any time of year. With
sixty miles of spectacular coastline and beaches, a rural landscape that has hardly
changed in centuries and the majestic granite slopes of Dartmoor, the South Hams
is a unique area worthy of its national status as a designated Area
of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The
area is also a destination for anyone with an interest in food. It's produce is
second to none and this has attracted many fine retauratuers, retailers and producers.
