thumb Hope Cove is a small seaside village within the civil parish of South Huish in South Hams District, Devon, England. It is located some 5 miles west of Salcombe and 5 miles south-west of Kingsbridge. It has two beaches, and is sheltered by the headland of Bolt Tail. ==History== Historically, the village falls into two parts — Outer Hope and Inner Hope. Inner Hope fell within the parish of Malborough until the 1970s, when it was united with its neighbor on the other side of a small headland. Both parts of the village originally developed as centres for the local fishing industry. Hope also developed a reputation for smuggling and for plundering wrecked ships.〔(Hope Cove in Devon - Devon Online )〕 In 1588, the ships of the Spanish Armada passed the village as they moved up the English Channel. After the Armada was defeated and headed back through storms, the ''San Pedro el Mayor'', a transport ship fitted out as a hospital, was blown onto the rocks between Inner and Outer Hope. The 140 survivors were initially sentenced to death, but were eventually ransomed and sent back to Spain.〔(South Devon AONB | Heritage, Landscape & Wildlife: Hope Cove to Bolberry Down )〕 ==Lifeboat== (詳細はRoyal National Lifeboat Institution established a lifeboat station at Hope Cove in 1878 on land donated by the Earl of Devon. Four boats, all named ''Alexandra'', were supplied in 1887, 1900 and 1903. The station was closed in April 1930 by which time the neighbouring station at had been equipped with a motor lifeboat which could cover Bigbury Bay. In 1992 the service was re-established under the management of the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) as part of the Cliff Rescue Team (CRT), and ended in 2010. With public support the service became a limited company and continues in operation. ==Modern era== The village is now mainly devoted to tourism and was the setting for the 1985 cult British movie ''The Supergrass''. The area lies within the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.〔(South Devon AONB | Home )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hope Cove」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
