Dartmouth is a traditional seaside resort in South Devon situated on the banks of the River Dart. Found close to the estuary, as the river meets the sea after snaking down from its source on Dartmoor, the River Dart is a focal point for the town where visitors and locals enjoy water sports, sailing, fishing and swimming.
There are plenty of fantastic things to do in Dartmouth: from fascinating shops and museums, to tantalising restaurants and pubs. The cosmopolitan town centre is the perfect place to find a holiday souvenir, with boutique arts and crafts shops dotted along the cobbles.
