DARTMOUTH



Situated at the mouth of the River Dart, opposite the picturesque village of Kingswear, is the historic town of Dartmouth. With its enchanting streets and scenic river location, you have to go a long way to find a town as pretty. Overlooking one of the finest natural harbours in the UK, Dartmouth has a strong maritime heritage and is packed with events and things to do throughout the year, from sailing to arts and cultural festivals.



Lying in the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the town has a vibrant, coastal charm and is well served by ferry and coastal path links. It has a long association with the Royal Navy with the Britannia Royal Naval College located on the hill overlooking the town and has been training Naval Officers since 1863. Many medieval and Elizabethan streetscapes have survived in Dartmouth and give the port a distinctly ancient flair and at the mouth of the river estuary you'll find the 600 year old Dartmouth Castle.



As one of the West Country's best sailing ports, Dartmouth has a great range of facilities if you're a water sports enthusiast and sailing fans will love the Dartmouth Regatta. The town has many events geared around the arts, with a diverse range of exhibitions in the many galleries.
