Dartmouth

The medieval riverside town of Dartmouth, with its unique natural landscape, is a must-see for anyone.

Set in something of a picture book location, Dartmouth sits along the River Dart, surrounded by steeply wooded hills which beautifully encase the town. While away hours exploring the medieval and Elizabethan streets, where the shops and art galleries will capture your imagination. There are plenty of opportunities to take to the water and a ferry trip up the river to Totnes will open your eyes to some spectacular scenery and wildlife.

Blackpool Sands – Dartmouth’s vibrant, award-winning shingle beach – is always a hit with holidaymakers who love, among other things, to surf, swim, kayak and sunbathe. Bring a picnic for the perfect family day out or visit the nearby café which serves delicious local food all year round.

Celebrated for its local history, Dartmouth is guaranteed to fascinate. Captivating wartime tales ranging from the Middle Ages right through to the Second World War await you across the river at Dartmouth Castle; while a guided tour of the Britannia Royal Naval College will help you truly discover the wonders of the town’s maritime past.

As Dartmouth is also renowned for its wealth of fine food, why not spend an idyllic evening sampling its culinary delights and soaking up the atmosphere in a spectacular setting? Fantastic Dartmouth restaurants serving delectable local seafood can be found around every corner, so you won’t have to look too far to enjoy a true taste of South Devon.
