Between Barne Barton and St Budeaux, Kinterbury Creek is a quiet stretch of the Tamar Estuary. Mudflats, reedbeds and saltmarsh sit alongside surfaced paths that lead towards Kiln Bay.
It is a short walk from housing, bus routes and St Budeaux railway station, yet feels a world away.

Why it Matters
Kinterbury Creek sits alongside everyday city life. A short walk from the bus stop can bring you to open sky, birdlife and the rhythm of the tide. It shows how Plymouth Sound National Marine Park is part of the neighbourhood.
