Totnes
Things to Do
Totnes
Totnes is a perfect example of the best that South Devon has to offer – packed full of history, a wonderfully quirky atmosphere and lots to offer visitors taking a day trip from the English Riviera, South Devon’s beautiful bay.
A great day out
Located on the River Dart, Totnes has a beautiful quay and there are regular ferry trips down the Dart to Dartmouth. There’s also the nearby Totnes Rare Breeds Farm and the South Devon Railway, if the kids need entertaining.
Up in town Fore Street is packed with great cafés and restaurants and all manner of new age shops reflecting Totnes’ slightly hippy vibe, while the regular Friday and Saturday markets have an eclectic mix of stalls with much more than the usual market fare. There’s also a monthly food market with everything from Jamaican curry to cream cakes.
Further out of town is Dartington Hall, a cultural hub for the area and home to the Barn Cinema, magnificent gardens and breathtaking medieval hall. Close by is Dartington Cider Press centre where you can find interesting arts and crafts for sale and check out the latest collections from the world-famous Dartington Glass.
A taste of English history
Totnes has a long history that stretches all the way back to the first millennium AD and Totnes Castle is one of the best-preserved examples of a medieval motte and bailey castle anywhere in England. The climb up the hill is well worth it for the stunning panoramic view from the top.
