Hidden in South Devon’s stunning, hilly landscape, the walks in Dartmouth are truly breathtaking. This historic naval town lies near the mouth of the River Dart and is built into its steep valley with neighbouring Kingswear across the water. With colourful houses, timbered buildings, winding cobbled streets and a beautiful quayside, it’s no wonder that this seafaring town is a firm favourite with sailors past and present.
