There are bus connections to Kingsbridge, 8 miles to the south east and to Plymouth, 12 miles to the west, with full city facilities, Derriford Hospital, mainline railway station and airport. There are magnificent sandy beaches only 5 miles away at Bigbury-on-Sea and Wonwell, with The South Devon Coast Path offering glorious walks as well as numerous rural footpaths nearer Modbury.
