The Neighbourhood
Within 3 minutes walk you will be in the centre of this historic naval town where the Britannia Royal Naval College stands proudly overlooking the town. Stroll along the embankment of the River Dart to discover a plethora of boutique shops and galleries, an Elizabethan butterwalk, and countless fantastic restaurants and pubs. On site at the Dart Marina Hotel you have the benefit of the newly opened Zephyr restaurant offering bistro style classics and lite bites or book a Gaia treatment at the Wellbeing Spa.
As well as its scenic estuary, Dartmouth gives access to some superb coastal and country landscapes nearby, sitting as it does on the South West Coast Path. At the mouth of the River Dart you have Dartmouth Castle with the SWCP leading to a number of small bathing coves. On the opposite side is Kingswear and from here you can access the National Trust estate of Coleton Fishacre, an Arts and Crafts-style house with an art deco interior, built in the 1920s for Rupert D'Oyly Carte, son of impresario Richard. The grounds are a gardener's delight, incorporating woodland and sub-tropical species and paths leading out to the cliff edge.
The Dartmouth Steam Railway and Riverboat Company operates a wonderfully nostalgic service, which runs from Kingswear to Paignton, taking in some spectacular riverside, coastal and rural scenery. You can also stop off at Greenway Halt and enjoy a short walk down to Greenway Estate to explore another National Trust treasure: the former home of Dame Agatha Christie.
A sight to behold is the Kingswear Castle Paddle Steamer, this historic vessel, built in 1924, is the UK’s only coal-fired paddle steamer in operation. Join a cruise on the river and explore this beautiful stretch of river in style.
