Thurlestone Devon Map

About Thurlestone

Thurlestone surveys the sweeping curve of the South Devon coast, its ancient stones catching the diffused light that often graces this corner of England. It lies 6.3 km west-south-west of Kingsbridge (from Kingsbridge: bearing 256°T, OS grid SX 673 428), and is situated south-south-east of Bantham village. The village’s namesake, a striking sea stack known locally as the Thurlestone Rock, stands as a sentinel just offshore, its weathered form testament to the relentless artistry of the ocean. The air here often carries the briny tang of the sea, mingling with the scent of gorse and wildflowers that bloom in abundance across the coastal paths. A quiet dignity pervades Thurlestone, a sense of enduring presence that speaks of generations who have drawn sustenance and solace from this landscape. The village green, a patch of well-trodden turf, offers a simple yet profound gathering place, its edges softened by the shade of mature trees.
