Welcome to Modbury

Church Street, Modbury Church Street, Modbury

 

Dating from the time of the Domesday Book, Modbury is a thriving community between moor and sea, in the South Hams area of Devon.  Within a short drive, there's plenty to see and do for everyone.

Despite its history, Modbury moves with the times, and it became the first 'no plastic bags' town in Britain.  Instead of offering the usual non-biodegradable plastic bags, all 43 traders and shopkeepers are now encouraging their customers to use large re-usable cotton and jute bags, smaller 100% biodegradable cornstarch bags or recyclable paper bags.
