More about this scene
Tucked away among 'surroundings that are indescribably beautiful', boats nestle in the placid harbour waters of this picturesque village with its long, straggling street. Combe Martin's climate has been praised: 'A stay here is wonderfully beneficial to those suffering from threatened lung trouble'.

A Selection of Memories from Combe Martin
For many years now, we've been inviting visitors to our website to add their own memories to share their experiences of life as it was, prompted by the photographs in our archive. Here are some from Combe Martin
Sparked a Memory for you?
If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
I lived in Combe Martin from 1972-77 at that time the Earl of Rhone festival had been dead for a number of years.. myself and another lady called Pamela Watts decided we would revive it... and to that end it is why it is celebrated to this day... Initially we did it without help but then slowly we recruited many helpers... forming a committee .. Pamela was Chairman and I Secretary... The first was 1973/74 and was an enormous success...
MY FAMILY HOME WAS JUST DOWN THE ROAD COME THE POST OFFICE, IT WAS HAPPY TIMES IN THE 60S AND 70S.STILL MISS COMBE MARTIN
That's the beach at Combe Martin, Sandy Cove is round the coast from there. In 1965 I was living in that building you can see in the middle of the picture.
Note from Editor: Thank you for the information - we are now changing our records.
Always stayed at Wavecrest with mum and dad plus the Green family each year. Good old Mrs Mills. Always had a trip to Lee Bay on "Bills" boat. Great Memories. Is Sue Green (my age) still around?
