East Portlemouth
East Portlemouth is a small Devon village situated at the southern end of the Kingsbridge Estuary, on the south Devon Coast. The population of this parish taken at the 2011 census was 162. The village is sited on a hill giving views to the north to Kingsbridge and on a clear day as far as Dartmoor. There is a small ferry that runs to Salcombe and a beach that is popular with holidaymakers.
The place-name 'Portlemouth' is first attested in the Domesday Book of 1086, where it appears as ''Porlamuta''. This is thought to derive from the Old English ''Portwellan-mutha'', meaning 'mouth of the port well', that is to say 'mouth of the harbour stream', the village being at the mouth of a river.〔Eilert Ekwall, ''The Concise Oxford Dictionary of English Place-names'', p. 371.〕
The village is popular with celebrities as a second-home base, where home owners include Steve Rider, Kate Bush and Michael Parkinson.〔http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1160876/TV-presenter-Steve-Rider-battles-stop-cottages-low-income-families-built-seafront-second-home.html〕
