Descripción
The Kingsbridge Estuary (better described as a RIA or flooded valley) is the largest most Southerly in Devon, at it's mouth is the town of Salcombe, at it's head is the town of Kingsbridge, for most of the middle section of the estuary there is little or no access to the shoreline, being comprised of mostly farmland. A car is almost essential in this Northern section but is renown for poor parking options. Some birds (depending on season) you're likely to see are Garceta Común, Tarro Blanco, Cerceta Común, Silbón Europeo, Ánade rabudo norteño, Cuchara Común, Porrón Europeo, Porrón Moñudo, Porrón Bastardo, Pato Havelda, Serreta Mediana, Chorlito Dorado Europeo, Chorlito Gris, Vuelvepiedras Común, Correlimos Común, Archibebe Claro, Aguja Colipinta, Aguja Colinegra, Zarapito Real, Zarapito Trinador, Combatiente.

Accesso
This Northern section of the estuary is divided into four parts. (1) Leave central Kingsbridge Eastwards on the A379, this road initially follows close to estuary (few stopping places), when estuary gets obscured by housing look for a Left turn into Warren Road and park on Left side of road, leave car and walk down road and cross over to a path to estuary shore. (2) For Bowcombe Creek continue Eastward on A379, just before bridge turn Left into Embankment Road that follows creek Northwards, along this tree/shrub lined road (check for passerines) are some parking places on the Left, further along this road is a small viewing platform (this road is out and back). (3) Leave Bowcombe Creek and turn Left over bridge (still A379), the main estuary widens here but there is no stopping places, continue on A379 into West Charleton and turn Right into Marsh Lane where there is limited parking at the end near the sewage works (do not block access), follow footpath South across marsh to embankment where there is a bird hide giving good views of both marsh and estuary. (4) For Frogmore Creek leave Marsh Lane and turn Right (still A379), towards the village of Frogmore, there is no parking in the old part of the village, but a newer residential area (on road to East Prawle) has on road parking (do not block access), after parking in this area walk back towards Kingsbridge (onA379) and look for signposted footpath on Left to the creek.
