Dartmouth is one of the most popular destinations in Devon.

It offers a stunning waterfront, ancient narrow streets lined with boutique shops, restaurants and art galleries plus many local events such as the annual Dart Music Festival and the Port of Dartmouth Royal Regatta, along with the Dartmouth Food Festival held every October.

There are many interesting cycling and walking routes around Dartmouth, including the South West Coast Path, the Dart Valley Trail and plenty of quiet country lanes.

Kingswear, the other side of the river is famous for its beautiful National Trust property, Coleton Fishacre, as well as its own magnificent castle.  Just a short drive and you can swim or try your hand at water sports on the Blue Flag beaches of Blackpool Sands. 

A trip on the Dartmouth Steam Railway through picturesque countryside to Paignton is a must, and so is a boat trip across to Kingswear and on to Brixham, a pretty little harbour town.
