We’re having an official launch party at our new Salcombe shop this afternoon, and everybody’s welcome!

If you’re in the area between 2 – 6pm please come and enjoy a glass of wine and canapés with us to celebrate the opening of our first shop.

The shop is in Fore Street in the gorgeous town of Salcombe in the South Hams, and we hope to see you there very soon.

Monty Halls, writer, explorer, marine biologist, former Royal Marines officer, and star of both BBC 2’s Great Escape series and the recently aired Fisherman’s Apprentice, is launching his own unique take on guided wildlife tours in South Devon.

He has created a collection of unique trips and experiences that echo elements from his Great Escapes series, which can now be booked throughout the summer.

Prime among these is the Great Escapes Ultimate Taste of Devon tour, which takes explorers on a trip to stimulate all the senses and to discover the best of Devon’s coastal culinary delights.  Costing  just £50 per person the trip starts from the harbour at Dartmouth in South Devon and takes guests on an exploration of the sea, the coast, the coves, the wildlife, the paths, and - best of all – the delicious produce from local Devon farms and fishing boats

Well guys it’s official, due to popular demand our new shop opened in Fore Street, Salcombe on Saturday!

Many thanks to everyone who popped by, the shop will now be open every day of the week and we’re very excited about the expansion.
