Saltash is often called the "Gateway to Cornwall," sitting on the steep banks of the River Tamar directly opposite Plymouth. Most of the town’s daily life revolves around its connection to the water and the two iconic bridges - the Royal Albert Bridge, designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel in 1859, and the later road suspension bridge - that link it to Devon. Geographically, it’s a town of vertical climbs, with many residential streets rising sharply from the historic waterfront at Waterside up towards the main shopping precinct on Fore Street. While it shares a border with a major city, Saltash maintains a distinct Cornish identity and a slower pace. The riverside area remains the heart of the community, offering tidal moorings, local rowing clubs, and green spaces like Tincombe and Churchtown Farm Community Nature Reserve, which provide a practical buffer of open countryside on the town’s western edge.
