Saltash
Saltash sits on the Cornish bank of the River Tamar, facing Plymouth across the water, and is often called the gateway to Cornwall because of the twin crossings alongside it, Brunel’s Royal Albert Bridge and the Tamar road bridge. The town has a quieter riverside character, with walks along the Tamar, a working waterfront steeped in maritime history and easy access into the Rame Peninsula.
