Welcome to Bigbury

Bigbury is a small village located in the South Hams district of Devon, England. It is situated on the coast of the English Channel and is known for its beautiful beaches and stunning views. The village is surrounded by rolling hills and green fields, making it a popular destination for hikers and nature lovers. The village is also home to a number of historic buildings, including the 14th-century St. Lawrence's Church and the 16th-century Bigbury Castle.

One of the main attractions of Bigbury is its beach, which is a popular spot for swimming, surfing, and sunbathing. The beach is known for its golden sand and clear blue waters, and is backed by cliffs and hills that provide stunning views of the surrounding countryside. The beach is also home to a number of cafes and restaurants, making it a great place to relax and enjoy a meal or a drink.

Another popular attraction in Bigbury is Burgh Island, which is located just off the coast of the village. The island is home to a number of historic buildings, including the Art Deco Burgh Island Hotel, which was built in the 1920s and has hosted a number of famous guests over the years. The island is accessible by foot at low tide, or by a sea tractor at high tide, and is a popular spot for hiking, birdwatching, and exploring the island's history and culture.

This Is A Lovely Dog Walk From The Carpark At Shipley Bridge On Dartmoor To Avon Dam. The First Part Follows Alongside The River Which My Dogs Love To Have A Dip In. Then The Walk Opens Out To Hills As You Work Your Way Up To The Dam. The Walk Is Pathed The Whole Way So Is Suitable For Pushchairs And Wheelchairs. I Think Its Roughly 1 Mile – 1.5 Miles Up To The Dam.
