Dartmouth
Dartmouth boasts a rich history and heritage, and no visit would be complete without exploring Dartmouth Castle, the Royal Naval College, or Agatha Christie’s Greenway National Trust Holiday Home. Spend a day visiting its museum, art galleries, independent shops, and various dining establishments. A much-visited destination is Blackpool Sands, one of the UK’s premier beaches, just a short drive from Dartmouth.
The river Dart serves as a perfect location for water sports enthusiasts, offering activities such as boat trips, sailing, paddleboarding, and more. Alternatively, you can choose a leisurly day appreciating the scenic views.
Take advantage of the numerous ferries available to venture into Torquay, Salcombe, or Totnes, or simply enjoy a delightful trip around the river mouth. For a nostalgic journey through the South Devon Countryside, consider catching the steam train from Kingswear.

Untiring, on swift wing the sea-bird flies, While calmly, constant as the gleaming star, The river Dart rolls to the harbour bar, And mirrors clouds in ever-smiling skies. Crusaders gathered here in time of old, And hence sailed vaunting barks to far Calais, Or toward the western world. Hearts that were bold Are silent now, while cliff and tower decay. The spirit of the fathers is not cold;
