Burgh Island, in Bigbury Bay.

The island, made famous by Agatha Christie with its magnificently restored hotel is connected to the mainland by a causeway of sand. When the tide covers the causeway a sea tractor takes visitors to the island. On the mainland are the villages of Bigbury on Sea and Challaborough with the villages of Bigbury, Ringmore and Kingston inland. The mouth of the River Avon seperates Bigbury and Burgh Island from the village and beach of Bantham. During the summer months a small ferry runs sporadically across the river from Bantham.
