About Noss Mayo

Noss Mayo, a jewel in Devon’s South Hams, breathes the saline air of its estuary setting. It lies 6.3 km south of Sherford (from Sherford: bearing 179°T, OS grid SX 550 476), and is situated south of Newton Ferrers village. The village unfolds along the curve of the Yealm estuary, where ancient stone cottages, their roofs softened by sea-mist and time, tumble towards the water's edge. The tidal ebb and flow dictates the rhythm of life here, revealing sandbanks like exposed secrets at low tide and lapping gently at the moored boats when the sea returns. From its harbours, the distant cries of gulls carry on the breeze, a constant reminder of the maritime heritage that shaped Noss Mayo. The light here, particularly in the late afternoon, can possess a luminous quality, turning the grey stone of the buildings to a warm, honeyed hue.
