Situation and description
Sherford is a delightful village which runs along a country lane, about one mile from Frogmore Creek and the A379 Kingsbridge/Dartmouth Road. The village consists mainly of picturesque old cottages and farmhouses, and there is also a fine parish church. There is a village hall which hosts many activities and is well supported by the community. The neighboring village of Frogmore has an excellent bakery/village shop/post office and a pub, whilst Chillington village which is only a little further away has a health centre, two pubs and a few more shops. For a wider range of amenities the market town of Kingsbridge at the head of the Salcombe estuary offers a good range of shops, a supermarket, sporting and educational facilities. Sherford is in an area of great natural beauty close to the coast with its spectacular cliffs, lovely coves and beaches and dramatic walks over the South Devon Coastal Path, and also nearby are the estuaries and creeks of the Salcombe estuary and the River Dart where excellent sailing facilities are to be found.
