Welcome to Saltash

Saltash is a small town located in the county of Cornwall, England. It is situated on the west bank of the River Tamar, which forms the border between Cornwall and Devon. The town is known for its historic architecture, including the Saltash Bridge, which was built in 1961 and is the longest suspension bridge in the UK. The town also has a rich maritime history, with a number of shipyards and docks that were once used for the construction and repair of ships.

One of the main attractions in Saltash is the Saltash Heritage Museum, which is located in the town's old police station. The museum features exhibits on the town's history, including its maritime heritage, as well as displays on local industries such as mining and farming. Visitors can also learn about the town's famous residents, including the explorer Sir Francis Drake, who was born in nearby Tavistock.

Saltash is also a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts, with a number of walking and cycling trails in the surrounding countryside. The town is located on the Tamar Valley Discovery Trail, which follows the River Tamar from Plymouth to Launceston. The trail passes through some of the most beautiful scenery in the region, including the Tamar Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Other popular outdoor activities in the area include fishing, boating, and birdwatching.
