Gallants Bower

Gallants Bower is a Civil War fort which can be found not far from Dartmouth Castle and is often visited by those enjoying the Little Dartmouth circular walk. Although now not much more than ruins, Gallants Bower is still a magical place to explore with stunning views of the Dart Estuary. It’s particularly at its peak in the springtime when the mounds are carpeted with bluebells.
