Welcome to Saltash People

Saltash,

which means Ash Tree by the Salt Mill, is the gateway to Cornwall. Situated on

the West bank of the river Tamar Saltash is often seen as a cross of Plymouth

people and Cornish people but the town is far older than Plymouth and is very

much a distinct identity of its own.

Saltash

links onto the A38 Devon Expressway and onto the M5. The main rail line that

connects Penzance to London crosses Saltash. By road the iconic Royal Albert Bridge

also known as the Tamar Bridge is free into Cornwall but there is a toll of £1 into

Devon or 50p if you have the new toll bridge detector or in the past it was the

book of tickets.

Visitors

can also sail into Saltash and use the Jubilee Pontoon which is an all tides

floating pontoon so your visit is not restricted by the tides. This pontoon is

free for short visits (Up to 12 hours). You can also sail beyond the Tamar Bridge

to Cotehele and Calstock in Cornwall depending on the tides.

Saltash

is an ideal location for visiting the beautiful villages of Cornwall and the

city of Plymouth. It is also perfect to capture the stunning scenery of the

river Tamar A Designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the National

Trust’s Cotehele House which is fairly close.
