SHAF preview: Burgh Island from Hope Cove
Burgh Island from Hope Cove is one of five new paintings that will be on display for the first time during this year’s SHAF Arts Trail.
I have featured on this iconic building many times before. It’s one of my favourite topics and this time, I’ve chosen the view from Hope Cove.
The SHAF TRAIL starts one week today
The SHAF Trail is an annual event and this year it runs from Saturday 15 October until Sunday 23 October. Just one week away!

WHERE IS BEACON HOUSE GALLERY?
Beacon House Gallery is not normally open to the public, except by prior arrangement. However, for the SHAF Trail, we welcome visitors during ‘opening hours’ as listed above. You don’t need to book ahead. Just turn up and you will be made very welcome.
DIRECTIONS TO BEACON HOUSE GALLERY
As you approach Salcombe, there will be yellow posters with arrows pointing the way to Beacon House Gallery.
You could park in the park’n’walk at the top of Bonfire Hill and walk down. There might be parking spaces in Bonfire Hill alongside the allotments, or you could park on our private drive at the end of the shared drive. (Please do not park on the shared drive.)
We do not currently have access for disabled visitors – but we are having alterations made to the house over this winter so for next year’s SHAF Trail we will be able to welcome wheelchair users.
We look forward to your visit!
The SHAF Trail is an annual event organised by the South Hams Art Forum in which local artists open their homes, allowing visitors to see for themselves how we work, and to talk one-on-one with the artists.
