Rickham, Devon Weather
About Rickham, Devon
Rickham holds a quiet vigil over the jagged coastline of the South Hams. It lies 1.0 miles south-east of Salcombe (from Salcombe: bearing 144°T, OS grid SX 750 376), and is situated south-south-east of East Portlemouth village. The landscape here is defined by the salt-crusted air and the relentless push of the tides against the Devon headlands. Below the hamlet, the golden arc of Rickham Sand catches the low, pale light of the morning, offering a stark contrast to the dark, weathered stone of the local farmsteads. To the west, the rhythmic pulse of the Kingsbridge Estuary shapes the horizon, drawing the eye toward the distant, shimmering water. The fields surrounding Rickham carry the deep, heavy scent of damp earth and forage, a reminder of the agricultural toil that has long sustained these slopes. Ancient earthworks ripple through the nearby terrain, marking where history has been slowly reclaimed by gorse and wild grass. Rickham remains a place of singular perspective, where the wind seems to possess a voice of its own as it sweeps across the cliffs.
