City/town information
Shaldon is full of little Georgian (and older) houses tucked away in maze of tiny streets. The village developed in the sixteenth century as a fishing port, it had important shipbuilding yards and was later linked to the Newfoundland cod fisheries. Along the beach many large rowing skiffs will be found, this is a legacy of the days when large sailing vessels arrived at the estuary and had to be towed into the port. The fastest skiff to get to the boat claimed the prize for the towage.
