Dartmouth
On the banks of the River Dart and close to the resort towns of the English Riviera, South Devon’s beautiful bay, Dartmouth has an important place in British naval history and is a major destination for tourists from the UK and overseas.
Dartmouth has a strong connection with the Royal Navy and Prince William trained at Dartmouth Naval College. The town was also a base for plundering privateers and a departure point for American troops taking part in the World War II D-Day landings at Utah Beach.
Dartmouth and Agatha Christie
Novelist Agatha Christie set her novel The Regatta Mystery in Dartmouth, and her holiday home Greenway (now owned by the National Trust) stands on the banks of the River Dart.
Ferry trips regularly run along the river to the house. You can also catch a boat ride from Dartmouth to other destinations on English Riviera, including Brixham, Paignton and Torquay. If boats aren’t for you, why not take in the surroundings on the Dartmouth Steam Railway?
For the kids, there’s all-weather fun to be had at Woodlands Family Theme Park, packed with rides, a petting zoo and face painting. Golfers will love the superb facilities at Dartmouth Golf and Country Club, while a pleasure cruise up the River Dart will bring you to Totnes.
Dartmouth Royal Regatta
Every summer the town plays host to the Dartmouth Royal Regatta, and as well as the fantastic sailing events that take place, there are also air displays and live entertainment.
