Explore Dartmouth
With a strong maritime heritage, enchanting streets and historic locations, Dartmouth is the ideal place to learn about some of England’s most influential spots. Want a glimpse into Britain’s impressive naval history? Head to the Britannia Royal Naval College for a guided tour round the iconic building. The last remaining working military establishment in the UK has been teaching and guiding our naval soldiers since 1863 – and you can wander the corridors for a taste of military life.
For breath-taking views and 14th-century heritage, take a trip to Dartmouth Castle. The fortress looks over the Dart Estuary, with glorious views of the river and surrounding landscapes. Discover how the Tudor’s protected themselves from invaders at Bayard’s Cove Fort. The 16th-century riverside fortress is home to numerous cannons, hidden inside the rocky walls.

As well as fascinating history, Dartmouth is home to one of the UK’s best beaches. Blackpool Sands is a privately managed Blue Flag beach, boasting bathing rafts, kayaks, sandpits and cafes. Pack up a delicious picnic from the local markets and spend a summer’s day lounging and playing on England’s coast. If the kids ever tire of the sand, take a trip to Woodlands Family Theme Park – filled with rides and attractions for all ages.
Train lovers, you’re in luck. The Dartmouth Steam Railway takes you on a 6.7-mile heritage trail of South Devon. Alternatively, if the water is calling your name, take the River Boat along the River Dart for some truly unique, breath-taking views.
