Noss Mayo and its neighbouring village Newton Ferrers sit in the far southwest corner of the South Hams, surrounded by the protected landscape of the National Trust owned coastline within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. These twin estuary villages are known for their strong sense of community, unspoilt natural surroundings and year round appeal.

Day to day essentials are within walking distance, including a village co op, post office, pharmacy, two churches and a selection of three well loved pubs. A popular delicatessen caf provides a welcoming hub of village life, while a thriving yacht club and respected primary school add to the village s year round vibrancy.
