Malborough Church, its tower and spire are a notable landmark on the South Hams sklyine. The church is large and was once the 'mother church' for the small fishing village of Salcombe. (Salcombe lacked its own church until the mid nineteenth century). Today Malborough is a large village with a strong sense of community and a diversity of both events and organisations. Nearby are Bolberry, Bolberry Down, South Huish and Soar.
