Tucked between Dartmoor and the English Channel, South Hams is a district whose character is shaped by sheltered river valleys, farmland and a long Devon coast. The River Dart reaches the sea at Dartmouth, while the River Avon meets the Channel near Bantham; farther south, the Kingsbridge Estuary extends inland towards Salcombe. Much of the coastline forms part of the South Devon National Landscape, marked by coves, headlands and coastal paths. Dartmouth retains a strong maritime identity, centred on the Royal Naval College above the Dart. Market towns and small settlements give the inland lanes a distinctly rural rhythm.
