Mothecombe lies within the PL 8 postal district of Plymouth, England. The River Yealm, which is highlighted in the local description, flows through the area and discharges into the English Channel at Bigbury Bay, between the rivers Yealm and Avon. The nearby River Plym also contributes to the local water system, discharging at Plymouth, while the River Erme runs by Meadowsfoot Beach in Holbeton parish. The Erme originates on Dartmoor and flows southward past historical archaeological sites before reaching the coast. It passes through settlements such as Ivybridge, Ermington, Modbury and Holbeton, becoming a ria near Holbeton before emptying into the sea. This setting suggests a rural environment with access to coastal waters and historical landscapes, characteristic of south Devon.
