You can't fail to be impressed by the beautiful harbour town of Dartmouth in South Devon.With its narrow streets, half timbered houses and stunning riverside setting, Dartmouth has long attracted holiday visitors.The deepwater natural harbour and the meandering River Dart have ensured the town is a focal point for all manner of water-based activity.For a small town Dartmouth has some fairly big historical connections - The Pilgrim Fathers, Sir Walter Raleigh, Sir Humphrey Gilbert, Agatha Christie - All have featured in the story of this beautiful town.
Packed full of unique shops and art galleries, an amble around the town provides surprises around every corner. And if it's good food you're after then Dartmouth can really pack a punch. Everything from cream teas to Michelin-starred restaurants are on the extensive menu of eateries.The big annual event of the year is, of course, the Dartmouth Royal Regatta in August which attracts thousands of people to watch the races, enjoy the fairground and grab a bargain at the many market stalls. However, it's a marvellouse town to visit at any time of the year.Why not take a trip on the steam train from Kingswear, enjoy a river trip up to historic Totnes. Take advantage of the tranquil countryside, walk the breath-taking South West Coast path, enjoy the area's numerous beaches and indulge yourself with award-winning cuisine.
