Wembury

Wembury is a quietly compelling village on the south coast of Devon, set just south of Plymouth and close to the sweep of Plymouth Sound. It shares its name with the peninsula on which it sits, giving the place a strong sense of place and shoreline identity. Administratively part of the South Hams, Wembury lies within the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, a status that underlines the natural charm of its surroundings. The South West Coast Path runs past the coastal end of the village, tracing the meeting of land and sea. The National Trust has taken an active role here, helping to sustain the scenic and historic characteristics of both the village and the wider peninsula. Together, these elements create a quietly preserved coastal settlement where landscape, heritage and a coastal route converge — a place for those who appreciate the understated qualities of England’s south-western shores.
