| Holcombe
is situated between the seaside
resorts of Dawlish and Teignmouth, and has a population
of around eight hundred people. The village has a church
(St George's), a
shop, two pubs (The Castle Inn in
the village, and the Smugglers Inn on the coast road) and
a Village Hall. We did
have a Post Office but this was closed by the PO, in its
wisdom, in September 2008. For administrative purposes, Holcombe
falls within the Dawlish South West ward of the Teignbridge District Council. Holcombe's history has been traced back over a thousand years. In this time, the village has changed considerably from a largely rural and agricultural community to the village we see today, with many residents commuting each day to Exeter or Torbay. The village's rich past has been associated with smugglers and been impacted by the growth of the railways - the Bristol to Plymouth main line goes along the coast at Holcombe and is one of the most scenic stretches of the rail network in the country. The heart of the village though has retained much of its character, with many thatched cottages in a designated conservation area. This website is primarily for the residents of Holcombe and provides details of events as well as general information on the village. If you have any items for inclusion or any comments on the website, please contact the administrator, Andy, at andy@holcombedevon.co.uk. Enjoy!
