The Pilchard Inn, now a beloved local landmark, stands proudly on the tidal island, its rustic architecture blending seamlessly into the surrounding landscape. As you gaze out towards Bigbury Beach and Bigbury-on-Sea in the distance, you can almost hear the sound of seagulls crying overhead and feel the warmth of a summer's day on your skin.
