For our next Explore from Webland, weโre heading to one of South Devonโs most picturesque waterside towns โ Dartmouth. โ
Sitting on the banks of the River Dart, Dartmouth is a brilliant place to spend a day, with colourful waterfront buildings, historic streets, boats coming and going on the river and plenty of places to stop for something to eat or drink.

Part of the fun can be the journey itself. The Lower Ferry crosses the River Dart between Dartmouth and Kingswear, with fantastic views along the river as you make the short crossing.

Once in Dartmouth, leave the car behind and have a wander. The town is full of character, with independent shops, cafรฉs, galleries and historic buildings tucked amongst its streets.

A short walk from the centre brings you to Bayardโs Cove โ one of the prettiest and most historic corners of Dartmouth. With its old quayside, colourful buildings and views across the water, itโs well worth exploring.

Follow the river towards the mouth of the Dart and youโll eventually reach Dartmouth Castle, dramatically positioned beside the water. As well as the history, itโs a lovely part of Dartmouth to explore on foot.

If you have a little more time, there are plenty of opportunities to get out onto the River Dart itself. A river cruise is a great way to see Dartmouth and the surrounding countryside from a completely different perspective.

From coffee and cake to fish and chips or a leisurely lunch overlooking the river, thereโs certainly no shortage of options.
Dartmouth is one of those places where you donโt really need a strict itinerary โ wander along the waterfront, explore the side streets, watch the boats and see where the day takes you.
Another reminder of just how much there is to discover when you Explore from Webland. ๐ฟ
