Dartmouth sits at the mouth of the River Dart and overlooks one of the finest natural harbours in the UK.

This picture-postcard coastal town is packed with chocolate-box shops and riverside restaurants and cafes, serving fresh sea food and delicious dairy ice creams – perfect for foodie fans.

Sailing fans will love the Dartmouth Royal Regatta, a weeklong celebration of the towns maritime heritage, plus a visit to the picturesque village of Kingswear, just a short trip across the river, is a must.
