Shopping in the Thurlestone Area

Whilst Thurlestone may not have a high street, it is an idyllic spot for Your Devon Escape.  And if you want to do a spot of shopping nearby, the towns of Kingsbridge and Salcombe are the perfect destinations for a spot of shopping near Thurlestone.

Kingsbridge

The High Street

The town of Kingsbridge are passionate about everything local, and you will quickly realise this from their independent shops and local market.  You will find everything from locally made products to vintage items and beautiful antiques.  Supporting independent and local shops is a great way to help the local community. Pick up something unique to remember Your Devon Escape by.  Whether you want a new fashion piece, a handcrafted local gift or a piece of art, you will find it on Kingsbridge high street.  When you tire of discovering the hidden gems, pop into one of the great cafés, restaurants or pubs for a break!

Kingsbridge Markets

Kingsbridge Market can be found in the Town Square every Tuesday, and on Thursdays during the summer.  You will find stalls offering clothing, plants, food and more.  Find the perfect momentum for Your Devon Escape.

Held on the first and third Saturday of each month is the morning farmer’s market.  It is the best place in the area to experience some local South Devon produce.  Everything is sold by the person who has grown, made, cooked or designed the product, and the stallholders will be there, rain, shine, snow or wind. Be sure to check it out.

Salcombe

If you fancy a bit of shopping near Thurlestone, visit the beautiful town of Salcombe.  Saunter through the narrow side streets of the town to discover hidden gems and local favourites.  It is truly a secret haven for shopaholics.  Shop until you drop and then head to the beach or for a refreshing drink to relax.

Fore Street

Scattered with a selection of independent outlets offering the finest in fashion, food, homeware, and seaside essentials, this is the perfect place to indulge in some serious retail therapy.  From cosy book shops and quaint coffeehouses to jewellery stores and beach-wear boutiques, shop until your heart is content.  Fore Street has the perfect mix of high street names and independent designers.  No matter what you are looking for, you will find it here.

Island Street

Island Street is the artisanal side of Salcombe.  Brimming with talent and offering an eclectic mix of art galleries, boat-building yards and food stalls serving the finest produce, you will leave full of food, joy, and local goodies.  You can even get your hands on some live crab or lobster to take home to cook in one of our properties!  It is a quaint and unique place to visit if you fancy a spot of shopping near Thurlestone.
