Welcome to Mothecombe

Mothecombe is a small village located in the South Hams district of Devon, England. It is situated on the eastern side of the River Erme estuary, which flows into the English Channel. The village is known for its beautiful beaches, stunning coastal walks, and picturesque countryside. Mothecombe Beach is a popular destination for tourists and locals alike, with its soft sand and clear waters making it perfect for swimming, sunbathing, and water sports.

The village of Mothecombe is surrounded by rolling hills and lush green fields, making it an ideal location for hiking and cycling. The South West Coast Path runs through the village, offering breathtaking views of the coastline and the surrounding countryside. The path takes walkers through the nearby villages of Holbeton and Noss Mayo, both of which are worth a visit for their charming pubs, quaint cottages, and historic churches.

Mothecombe is also home to a number of historic landmarks, including the Grade II listed Mothecombe House, which dates back to the 18th century. The house is set in beautiful gardens and is open to the public during the summer months. Other notable landmarks in the village include the 13th-century St Peter's Church and the Mothecombe Viaduct, which was built in the 19th century to carry the railway line from Plymouth to Kingsbridge.
