    Beautiful place. I really enjoyed the video. The downside is the amount of people.
    To be expected though in the summer.

    I'm not surprised that Salcombe has those nicknames. It looks you can smell the money 🤑 in the air. I'd love to go in winter ❄️ and walk around the empty streets. I love the reactions 👋 or 😳☹️ from people. Great video Neil of a beautiful town. 👍

    Thank you for a super story, I have just returned from taking nearly all of your lovely pictures so I haven’t missed anything. We parked in the car park in the centre where you filmed and enjoyed all the activity.

    I used to go camping annually just up the road. It really is beautiful. I can see some of the shops have changed. There’s a great bar called The ferry inn that overlooks the estuary near the top of fire street. I’d love to go back ❤

    Possibly the all time favourite place I went when I was a little 'un on the family boat.

    How come the beaches over the water look deserted, I wonder if they're private?

    If you kept going inland up that channel how far does it go, do you come to another village ? because it looks like it goes a long way inland.

      It goes a couple of miles to Kingsbridge, another lovely boat town, properties are cheaper there.
