Overview

  • This week’s features from the Mirror, Nottinghamshire Live and Bristol Live revisit South Pool’s rising profile and quote residents who say they would rather keep the village a “secret.”
  • CN Traveller previously named South Pool the “most beautiful” village, a plaudit the new coverage cites in framing its appeal.
  • Coastal access is a major draw, with Bantham Beach about a 30-minute drive away and praised by a holidaymaker as “the most beautiful beach without leaving the UK.”
  • Heritage highlights include the 13th-century, Grade I-listed Church of St Cyriac and St Julietta, noted for its medieval architecture, Norman font and carved rood screen.
  • The Millbrook Inn and the South Pool creek link to the Salcombe Estuary provide a cosy pub stop and options for sailing, kayaking, fishing, plus walking and trips to Salcombe, Kingsbridge and Dartmouth.
