SALTASH

Saltash is a flourishing modern town with historic roots stretching back to the 12th century. In the summer of 2009 the Saltash postcode area was judged as the most desirable place to live in Great Britain in a survey that included statistics from school results and crime figures. Situated on the west bank of the beautiful river Tamar, Saltash acts as a gateway between Cornwall and Devon, and is the location of Isambard Kingdom Brunel s Royal Albert Bridge, opened by HRH Prince Albert on May 2 1859. Alongside it is the Tamar Bridge, a toll bridge carrying the A38 trunk road, widened in 2001 to Devon and the adjacent city of Plymouth. Saltash railway station is close to the town centre and is served by a regular train service, with some direct High Speed services to and from London Paddington. As well as the attractive setting, Saltash can also boast a wide range of excellent facilities whatever your needs, from schools and housing, to industrial estates and transportation links, to beautiful riverside walks and leisure amenities. The perfect place to work, live or just visit. The cottage of Mary Newman, Sir Francis Drake s first wife, can be found in Saltash on Culver Road downhill from Saltash railway station.
