We always love a trip to Kingsbridge for a spot of breakfast or lunch, a mooch around the shops and to pick up a few supplies from the supermarkets, butcher and fishmongers. The small cinema there is also handy for a rainy day. Petrol station here too. When the tide is out take the very picturesque tidal road from St Ann’s Chapel to Aveton Gifford.
