Dartmouth Castle was built in 1388 to protect the rich towns harbour against French raids. About a hundred years later the walls were strengthened and the gun tower was added. This was the first coastal artillery installation in the UK. The castle was updated in the mid 1600's for the English civil war. It's been updated several times since then and was used in the first and second world war.
Today the castle is managed by English Heritage, it's open for visitors every day from 10:00 - 17:00. It's paid entry unless you're an English Heritage member.

Nicely tucked away with some lovely views of the Dart Estuary. Some lovely local loop walls nearby, Sugary cove being one.

Cykling

Dartmouth Castle is over 600 years old and perches beautifully on the clifftops overlooking the Dart Estuary.

The castle is open to visitors and has plenty to see inside and out. Owned by English Heritage, there is also a tearoom and if you're tired, a ferry boat will take you from the castle to Dartmouth.
