Kingsbridge Harbour

Highlight • Rest Area

This is a nice place to sit and watch the world go by and there are plenty of places to refuel and rehydrate around the harbour

Despite appearances, this isn't a river at all, its is a ria, and inlet from the sea created by a drowned valley.

Kingsbridge Market Square

Highlight • Settlement

In 1219 Kingsbridge was owned by the Abbot of Buckfast who needed an outlet where the monks could sell their produce: honey, beeswax, candles, soap and mead. So the Abbot petitioned the Crown for permission to hold a market at Kingsbridge and a Royal Charter was granted. As a Market Town, Kingsbridge has thrived through its independent businesses, often family-run for generations and relying upon the local community's support.

A small chapel existed on the site of St. Edmund's Church in the 13th century but the burial ground was at Churchstow, a village two miles to the west. In 1309 the parishioners petitioned the Bishop and complained of the difficulty of carrying their dead "up the mountain" to Churchstow for burial. However it was more than 100 years before permission was granted "to the Abbot and monks of Buckfast to

build a church in honour of the blessed Edmund, King and Martyr in their demesne and the vill which is called Kingsbrigg".

In 1798 the town mills were converted into a woollen manufactory, which produced large quantities of cloth. During the 19th century the town had an active coastal shipping trade, shipbuilding, a tannery and a large monthly cattle market. The chief exports were cider, corn, malt and slate.
