Saltash had a population of around 16,300 at the 2021 census — the first town most travellers reach when they cross into Cornwall from Devon.
Brunel's Bridge, and the 'Gateway to Cornwall'
Saltash sits on the Cornish bank of the River Tamar directly opposite Plymouth, and since 1859 has been overlooked by Isambard Kingdom Brunel's Royal Albert Bridge, opened by Prince Albert to carry the railway across the water. Long before the bridge, Saltash was a busy 12th-century port and later home to the largest river steamer fleet in the South West, earning the town its enduring nickname, the 'Gateway to Cornwall'.
What that history doesn't leave behind
Saltash's history doesn't come with a dedicated sweet shop set up for bulk bags, vegan-specific ranges or halal-friendly lines — not the kind of retail a town this size tends to support locally.
Why Saltash shoppers order online anyway
For anything past a corner-shop bag, ordering online is more consistent — no trip over the bridge into Plymouth required.
