Kingsbridge is a market town in the South Hams district of Devon, England, with a population of 6,116 at the 2011 census.

[3][4] It is situated at the northern end of the Kingsbridge Estuary, a ria that extends to the sea six miles (10 km) south of the town.

St. Edmund's Church, in mainly Perpendicular style, retains some 13th-century features including a font, but was enlarged and reconsecrated around 1414 and was mostly rebuilt in the 19th century.

In 1798 the town mills were converted into a woollen manufactory, which produced large quantities of cloth, and serge manufacture was introduced early in the 19th century.

During the 19th century the town had an active coastal shipping trade, shipbuilding, a tannery, other industries and a large monthly cattle market.

It also has a large secondary school, Kingsbridge Community College, which has over 1,000 pupils and serves the surrounding area.

Kingsbridge was home to "the only nightclub in the South Hams", Coast (which has since closed), with the next nearest club being in Torquay.

For seventy years it had a railway station until the branch line, via South Brent, was closed in 1963 as part of the Beeching cuts.

An industrial estate now occupies the site of the former station yard, but a railway bridge and a short section of overgrown embankment can still be seen.
