Nature & Parks
Bodies of Water
Dartmoor National Park covers an expansive area of 954 sq km, offering various outdoor activities such as walking, horse riding, and rock climbing. The park also provides seasonal guided tours for visitors. Additionally, the nearby town of Bovey Tracey serves as a hub for arts and crafts, hosting the Devon Guild of Craftsmen and the Contemporary Craft Festival.
An unforgettable place where sheep wear leopard print and cows rule the roads. We visited Dartmoor National Park — and it felt like stepping into a slower, older rhythm of life. Rolling hills, heather, wind… and sheep with spotted wool that looked oddly like leopard-print leggings. They wandered freely, completely unfazed by people — like they owned the land. Cows strolled casually down the roads, and drivers patiently waited. It was funny at first, but totally normal here. We loved the ruins of ancient stone structures — covered in moss and filled with silence. Found a small waterfall hidden between rocks — a real gem. If you're looking for a place where nature follows its own rules — this is it. We'll definitely be back.

Did the 13 Tors day hike for Marie Curie Charity. Amazing views and people! Just need to prep gear, snacks, take all your rubhish with you, observe the byelaws and remember to use toilets!

Wonderful SW wilderness, fantastic breathing space at any time of year. WW boating, climbing, mountain biking, trail running, hiking and wild camping. Such a magical place
Tim O — Google review
Spectacular place, so much to see and do, if you like Tors, desolate moors, valleys with trees, reservoirs, lakes, streams, rivers and woods, then this is the place for you. Wonderful to see all the Dartmoor ponies and foals, cattle and sheep roaming free. Loads of walks from easy, to moderate, to hard ones, so many different Tors to see.. Lots of cycling tracks, and areas to go horse riding. The scenery is breathtaking. Plenty of pubs along the route to stop at for food and drink. Places to stop for picnics as so many car parks all over the moors. Stunning little villages around too. Well worth a visit.

Every time I visit England, I always love going back to Dartmoor. I first came here as a child, and it’s just as beautiful now as I remember. The hikes are great, whether you want an easy walk or something more challenging, and the scenery is stunning. Seeing the wild ponies and the wide open moors always makes it feel special. It’s one of those places I never get tired of visiting.
Sarah — Google review
I love this place with all my heart. I’ve walked across the moors countless times, and every time I go, it’s better than the last. Standing on top of Haytor Rocks feels like nature itself is running through my body like lightning.
Billy B — Google review
Wild, slightly windswept, exposed, grassy, treeless, and a lot of cute horses. Reminds me a lot of Forest of Bowland in Lancashire, but of course, with the granite, it is its own beast. The views are expansive, and it shuttles you between a handful of high, bumpy plateaus, then short fast dips into verdant hedgerowed hamlets, then back into windswept plateaus again. Perfect countryside for bike riding, and hopefully the suggested speed limits on the road are adhered to, as the straight roads do seem to encourage wild driving at times. I love the big descent down Pork Hill to Tavistock, and the one down to Exeter - and of course they are for great ascents too, nice and steady. Come to see the cute Dartmoor Ponies too - they’re very short and quite timid, like Shetlands without the attitude problems. but treat them with care, they still need to feel wild, not domesticated.

Zoo
Woodlands Family Theme Park in Devon is a top family attraction with a variety of rides, indoor and outdoor play areas, and a zoo/farm featuring meerkats and falconry displays. The park offers something for all ages, making it an ideal destination for families. Additionally, the Watermouth Family Theme Park and Castle in Ilfracombe provides a Victorian castle experience with nostalgic displays, rides, play areas, and beautifully landscaped gardens.
The woodlands has got family orientation in mind with the theme of the park. There is lots to do for the children. Multiple outdoor play areas located over the park, for both toddlers and big kids who are always on the go. There a big indoor soft play area that is 5 stores high! My daughter loved it. There are rides located around the park. If your looking for the latest & super fast rides, you need to got to Alton towers or somewhere like that. The farm area was cool, special as you could get close n feed some of them. Bird of prey section was interesting and amazing on how close you could get. Food here is limited and expensive but nice to eat and cooked, fresh to order. Overall, my family enjoyed going there and we did camp there awell. If you got a young family, give this place a try.

Fantastic day out for our 6yo and 9yo. So much to do although top hits were the 3 water rides and the sledge like rides! Adults enjoyed them too. Highly recommend the 7day pass if you're around for a while as good value if you go several times - great for wet days too with soft plays to go in. Staff were always helpful. My only criticism is no prices on the ice creams and we weren't told the amount when paying. We would definitely go back again..
Beth B — Google review
What a great day out for adults and children. Admission in advance was £17 and a few pence per person and once inside the park food and drink was also very reasonably priced. Selection was burgers, fries, hot dogs ,wraps etc. There was a small selection of farm animals to feed and observe and a large indoor play area for if the weather doesn't cooperate. There was a card available on our visit that if you collected 6 stamps from the rides availability, a return visit after the school summer holidays is only £25 for upto 8 people. Overall a great day out and we are returning in September.
Jon H — Google review
Great little theme park set in beautiful woodland on the side of a hill, as per the norm for Devon! Out of season and nicely quiet, with the vast majority of attractions still open, including farmyard and falconry along with the rides. Overall great day for 11 year old birthday and his buddies.
Andrew F — Google review
Such a beautiful place. I know it's not perfect but you get so much value for your money. The food it's not the best, regular fried food but the prices are decent. They could do with more cleaning in the indoor areas but as mentioned above for the money paid I can't complain. We will visit again for sure, it's one experience which really worth doing it with the kids.
Guest — Google review
Great family park which is spread out with some good attractions. Massive soft play which alone is worth the visit. The raft slides had the longest queues but everything else was easy to get on to and do.
Alistair P — Google review
Tickets you could change to give you a weeks worth of entry. Enough to dp to keep kids entertained multiple times. Probably the biggest indoor play area i have ever seen and another indoor play area with air guns alot of fun. The slides were really good and got absolutely soaked multiple times. Toboggan only got chance to do once due to weather but was also fun. Would def go back again and also had a farm with a mixure of animals to look at also. Highly recommend.

When we first went in we went to straight to soft play as it was raining .we arrived around 9:30 so everything would of been open right ? Wrong . We waited around 9:35 to get into soft play whats not bad but what is , is when kids in my family went to play they didn’t let them in because they “could not find the lights “ . Something they do everyday . So we waited ages then got told that the rides open at 10:00 am . So we waited ages but then they said we could go on the rides , we went on the drop tower in soft play as the main bit was not open yet . It did not open until about 10:20 . The play areas look abandoned at some points and the whole area looks like someone thrown loads of ideas but just mushed them around . The tractor ride definitely needs an update . It took ages to get on , although the staff member was the only one smiling. . My child’s idea what I think might be good but doesn’t make that much sense, if that the theme park got frozen in time and the animals are trying to get to the homes , but the pirates are trying to take over 😂.The place does definitely need an update . The water slides you definitely get VERY WET. We waited ages for some of them just to get soaked . The staff except for one were not very good and honestly made the experience not good . They weren’t smiling , did not talk and made one of my kids have to pay for a drink even know she just wanted a twix. There are a few outdoor drop slide what I personally think need an staff or atleast cctv. Because it is very dangerous if you did not read the instructions as it is under six , but I saw some 3 year going down it and getting a lot of friction burns . There was also a blue one in the ninja area what was very bad . Instead of sliding you just fall . You are supposed to have a mat but when someone did not care about the rule they did it perfectly fine . It was around an 8 foot drop and no staff in sight if someone got hurt . Overall , it was a quite good experience if you like slides , if not maybe not as much . In some place it definitely needs an upgrade and way better slides

Dartmouth Boat Hire

(317)
Temporarily Closed
Boat rental service
Dartmouth Boat Hire offers a variety of boat options, from small to large, catering to different budgets. The location provides stunning views across the river, making it a desirable spot in the UK. Visitors can enjoy a couple of hours on the Dart River with professional and friendly staff who ensure safety by providing life jackets and instructions. The area offers numerous attractions accessible by boat, such as Totnes, Dittisham, Greenaway, and Dartmouth Castle.
We’ve used this company a couple of times now and every time we have had a great experience. There’s is no pressure in regards to experience. Everything was very straight forward and the staff were very helpful. We went on the first day of the season and seeing the new staff being trained was great as we also learnt as well as the new staff members. I think £100 for 2 hours is great value. This gives you more than enough time to moor up at Dittisham and have a pint and head back to the castle. Staff are very caring and friendly. Will definitely be back 🤩 If you love being on or around the water, this is definitely an activity to do.
Abbey C — Google review
We had a great experience from start (from booking) to finish. The staff could not have been more helpful and friendly. We had a great time cruising to dittisham in the sun and moored at the ferryboat inn for a picnic. So much fun. We booked the 8man fishing boat.

I had an absolutely incredible time out with the family. We got three hours out on the river and we saw it all ! From crabbing and going to the pub in Dittisham to spotting the dolphins out by Dartmouth castle which the kids absolutely loved. The boats were extremely easy to operate with the clear and calm instructions from the staff really boosting mine and my wife’s confidence on the river. It was honestly the best day out we had in Dartmouth and would definitely recommend.

We hired a boat from James and the crew, booking was easy and communication was brilliant. On the day it was all plain sailing and we had a fantastic time cruising up the river to Dittisham for a spot of lunch and crabbing before heading back. Thank you so much for an amazing experience and for the memories made. The children agreed it was the best day of the holiday ☺️.

Bistro
Restaurant
Nestled in the heart of Dartmouth, the Embankment Bistro offers a delightful dining experience with stunning views of the River Dart. This charming bistro is housed in a beautifully restored Grade 1 listed Great Western Railway station, making it an ideal spot for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Guests can savor delicious seafood and sip on Bollinger Champagne while enjoying al fresco dining on Le Terrace.
My husband and I had the most wonderful dinner here on 28/2/25. We had a lovely window seat in the corner by the window as the sun set. We were warmly greeted and our drinks were quickly brought out while we perused the menu. I have to say that each and every mouthful of what we ordered was delicious! Starter - warm focaccia with oil and balsamic vinegar. This was lovely toasted and the balsamic vinegar had been boiled down to release the sweetness and make it thicker. Main - husband had fish and chips, and I had a Caesar salad and frites. The batter on the fish was light and crispy - not at all soggy. The salad was fresh and just the right amount of dressing. The matchstick frites were perfect and so moreish! Dessert - husband had crème brûlée and I had the 3 warm madeleines with crème anglaise. Both desserts were incredible, but seriously those madeleines were out of this world. They were warm from the oven and the crème anglaise was cold. Talk about a match made in heaven. I will be dreaming about these for the rest of my life. Coffee and hot chocolate to finish. Service was perfect; our server was friendly, funny and not the kind that keeps bothering you to check everything is ok. The building is a charming old station and the ambience was just like a French bistro. I cannot recommend this place enough. It was very reasonably priced too. We will definitely be coming back next time we are in the area. Seriously, those madeleines…….❤️

This place surprised us in a really great way with the quality of food served. We visited Dartmouth many years ago when this was a very different restaurant (chips with everything). Now however, both my wife and I both agree we have had the best meals of our week long stay in this restaurant, and we've eaten in a lot of great restaurants while we were here. I definitely recommend the rump steak. Not only was it cooked perfectly (medium rare) but the flavour was possibly the best we've ever tasted... Truly delicious. My wife also had the skate wings and she was extremely impressed with both the quantity and quality, again the taste was incredible. We visited this restaurant twice, once at lunch time and once in the evening, both times the food was fantastic. The prices are far more competitive than anywhere else as well, so I definitely recommend this restaurant if you find yourself in Dartmouth.
Andy P — Google review
Think this place is confused as to its target market. Popped in for a coffee to take in the river views to be directed to a table towards the road. We did push for a window view, which we did get. Services seemed overly attentive for what was just a simple coffee. The drinks themselves were very nice, food menu looked pricey for breakfast / brunch. It seems like the establishmemt would be better placed offering a high end evening service, particularly if it wants to justify a 12.5% service charge.
Ladybluetoo — Google review
Absolutely love this place! The setting is stunning, right on the harbour in the old train station, and the food is just as amazing as the view. The roast here is hands down the best I’ve ever had – perfectly cooked and so much flavour. Friendly service and a really welcoming atmosphere too. Can’t recommend enough!
Kieran L — Google review
Nice place, but a 3.7 star rating? They deserve a much higher score than this BUT the negatives all mention poor service, namely around confusion over how to order or where to order. In hindsight, I did feel slightly unwelcome when I ordered a couple of drinks at the bar to take outside. My advice, just lighten up a bit guys or invest in some clearer signage 🙏
Dan — Google review
Popped in for a light bite and decided on the Brixham Crab Toast it was quite nice and tasty, however there must have been around only a teaspoon of crab mixed in with a brown mayonnaise which was spread over the sourdough, enough to taste of crab ( I had a piece of crabshell in mine) but not enough to say the crab ratio was enough. Staff very pleasant and attentive though

A unique restaurant overlooking the water, when we walked in we were treated with a friendly, happy team that made us smile. My husband and I both ordered the English breakfast...wow!

Seafood restaurant
The Seahorse Restaurant in Dartmouth, opened in 2008, offers an elegant dining experience with a view of the River Dart. Owned by renowned seafood expert Mitch Tonks, the bright and airy restaurant features an open kitchen and comfortable banquettes. The menu changes daily to showcase the freshest Brixham fish, cooked over charcoal for a Mediterranean flair. Diners can enjoy alfresco dining during summer months while overlooking the water.
Our host Charlie was fantastic - we were the only diners in the restaurant for the first hour and a half and he looked after us in an exemplary fashion. He was charming, friendly, and nothing was too much trouble. The restaurant is such a lovely room to sit in and being the only ones there we could fully appreciate the artwork and even ask about it. Charlie was very knowledgeable and informative. The oysters were superb, the monkfish risotto rich and layered with every ingredient noticeable from the flecks of fresh parsley to the monkfish stock. The lemon sole was amazing and the fresh tartare sauce a triumph. The courgette frito was gorgeous as was the delicate fennel heart. The taleggio was generously served and the ‘table focaccia’ was a perfect accompaniment. Loved all of it and the meal offer was a perfect lure to get my mum to go and of course we spent well and enjoyed everything. Thank you all so much.

One of the greatest meal we had in a long time - cod loin was served like we have never tasted before! The monkfish was so out of this world! Everything was cooked to perfection. The restaurant is in the fishing business - so they serve the freshest fishes we had in a long time! And OMG these scallops - I could eat a mountain of those! Fresh! Must! We adore this place and its service! Food that is brave!

An impeccable dining experience that prioritises local products, cooked to perfection, and served thoughtfully to preserve the intrinsic flavour of the finest seafood. My partner and I shared the whole turbot which was cooked to perfection and served very elegantly by the staff. The service and atmosphere created a dining experience that was thoroughly authentic, reflecting the local culture. Having dined here a while ago, I sadly can't remember the name of my waitress who was attentive, self-assured and was the cherry on top of our evening.

A marvellous experience. All the dishes were delicious with beautiful aromas and flavours that have depth and character. I particularly enjoyed the scallops and unexpectedly, the chicken lovers presented as a minced dish on crunchy toast was exceptional. Needless to say, the charcoal cooked fish was super. Thank you for a lovely lunch.
Martin ( — Google review
Wow, what a fabulous meal! 12/10 would recommend. A beautiful restaurant, with a cosy cocktail bar upon entry. The waiting staff were all friendly and helpful, and helped us with their recommendations. Fish was clearly caught fresh, and the daily menu is based on the fish from the market. We started with the scallops, which were sensational. The best I’ve ever had. And we then shared the monkfish - 100% worth the price, the best fish I have ever had, cooked to perfection on the grill. And I would highly recommend the fried zucchini. Unforgettable dinner, thank you!

Pizza restaurant
Vinos Pizzaria offers a mixed experience, with some visits resulting in exceptionally good food while others are disappointing. The quality seems inconsistent, with variations in greasiness and saltiness. However, the salad and kebab meat receive consistent praise for their taste and portion sizes. Visitors have noted the friendly and accommodating staff who ensure a pleasant dining experience for large groups. The menu features generous portions at reasonable prices, with highlights such as the chili burger and well-presented Doner.
Amazing atmosphere, fantastic food and super friendly service. All the lads are very kind and always welcome you in and also know how to have a good laugh. Would highly recommend after a night out but also just in general, the food has always been cooked to perfection and is delicious 😋 5 out of 5 from me!

The food : Decent food which was as ordered and took 15 mins to prepare. They warned beforehand though. Don’t dare ask for a bag to protect your car from the greasy pizza boxes and chip bag; You’ll get a mini TED talk on how Pizzas are supposed to be kept flat. I’m still pondering what the hell that had to do with my request, but the thorough unblinking mansplaining I was subjected to rendered me speechless and asking too many further questions. Possibly the weirdest moment in pizza history! I left without a bag. The car can get valeted. The service : Expect service to be blunt and devoid of any pleasantry. You’ll feel that you are a mild annoyance and unworthy of eye contact, thanks or respect. The customer before me had the temerity to ask for additional chips with her order. The icy glare and uncomfortable silence that followed rendered half of Dartmouths locals instantly paralysed!! My soul left my body for a moment. They agreed to add the chips but only when the quorum of all 3 employees agreed. I declined to add the chicken strips I initially forgot - the kids will understand!!

Outdoor Activities
Beaches
Blackpool Sands is a picturesque and sheltered shingle beach located in South Devon, far from the famous Blackpool in the north. Despite its name, this family favorite offers clear turquoise waters and a crescent sweep of tiny pebbles instead of sand. The beach provides sandpits for children to play in and offers various water sports activities such as kayaking, stand-up paddle-boarding, and windsurfing.
Such a beautiful beach. I think the best thing was that isn't any sand , just small and big pebbles but still very comfortable to sit and walk. The water was very clear and the beach has lifeguards on duty. The parking it's not crazy expensive and you have toilets and changing cubicle and also showers ( cold water only).

Great beach in a lovely setting. The beach is easily accessible from the car park. Paid parking is provided. It is not a sandy beach but a gravel one.

Fab beach with easy parking, small stones that are easy to walk on, lots of water activities to enjoy and a Sauna to hire 💞👍🏼. What’s not to love. No horrible sand to get rid of afterwards either. 😅

Nice clean beach, well maintained, large car park, cafe on site. The waters edge is a good walk as the beach is so wide. Also shingle beach so take suitable footwear, no sand!!
Stefan S — Google review
The parking charges are a bit steep, but if you stay over 3 hours it's £9 for the day (as nest as I can tell). There is lots of parking which is well managed during the peak season. There is plenty of space on the beach and it is generally well sheltered. There are good food and drink options on site with plenty of picnic bench seating outside. It is really clean and tidy. A special call out for the board walk they have installed to get from the entrance to the front of the beach. Makes using buggies etc. much easier. Yes, the beach is not golden sand but fine shingle but complaing about that would be like complaining That the white cliffs of Dover were "too bright". The beach is a product of geography and geology.

Not sure about 'the ultimate beach experience' (like they say on the signs) but its pretty close 😁. Visited on the August Bank Holiday and its busy but definitely not Bournemouth busy. Its a very small pebble beach, so no sand getting everywhere but you can't make sandcastles. It shelves quite quickly into the water but it is RNLI patrolled. Great beach store for all the beach essentials. There's also a hire store for paddleboard and kayaks and even a free automated air pump for blowing up boards. Restaurant is really good and great value. Smash burger and fish burger were amazing.

Dartmouth Castle is a historic fortress located on the Dart Estuary, featuring a 15th-century tower and informative displays about its rich history. Visitors can embark on a scenic coastal walk from Warren Point to reach the castle, passing by Western Combe Cove and Blackstone Point before arriving at this intriguing site. Additionally, travelers have the option to take a ferry from Stumpy Steps to Dartmouth for stunning views of the town and Kingswear.
Beautiful castle and a wonderful few hours to spend. Staff were lovely and so friendly, plus the English Heritage shop was worth the visit too. We took the ferry over and this was a lovely experience.

A wonderful experience to visit this ancient castle going back to 1388! Fantastic views of the estuary and Dartmouth town from here. You can get a small boat from the town to the castle and a return which makes the visit even better. Walking time is about 20 minutes. It is also possible to park next to the castle but spaces are limited but there is a car park near by. Stunning place and highly recommended!

Great place to visit for all ages. Took the lower ferry across the river. Lots of great information boards and things for the kids to touch/experience. Awesome views across the river. Cafe on site and lovely people/guides who were very friendly. The church at the end was beautiful and was a somber moment for all that have departed this life. Would recommend for family's to spend a couple of hours here.

One of the most stunning castles in Devon. The views are absolutely stunning, gorgeous coastal walk to sugary cove. Have been quite a few times and it's breathtaking. The cafe is ridiculously expensive though and parking is very limited with only 5 spaces

Welcoming the returning sailors or defending the town Dartmouth castle remains today a distinctive fortification matched by its twin on the Kingswear shore. A good walk down the River Dart from the town centre you can refresh and refill yourself at the welcoming cafe. From the castle rest and enjoy extensive views seaward and watch yachts coming and going. Children will enjoy exploring the castle and be refreshed for their townward return walk. You can drive out to the castle but the road is narrow and parking limited. Toilets are available for the visitors.

We had a lovely visit to the castle, exploring the different eras of its history and development. The views of the castle from the water are absolutely stunning. For families with two or three children, the family ticket offers good value. After visiting, it’s well worth taking the small boat over to Dartmouth—a perfect way to round off the trip.

Ferry service
Transportation
Ferries
The Greenway & Dittisham Ferry Service offers a dog-friendly cruise along the Dart River, providing various sailings to cater to different preferences. Visitors can explore Agatha Christie's Greenway House and its gardens with their furry companions. The ferry provides scenic views of the river and a brief commentary from the captain. It is an ideal mode of transportation for reaching the National Trust property, although there is a steep walk to the house.
Cruise up the Dart to the home of Agatha Christy, Greenway. Sailings are about every hour (check the timetable) and it cost £34 for a family of four. We went in low season and in appalling weather so it wasn’t busy but I’d guess in high season booking ahead would be advisable. The ferry provides good views of the Dart and the Captain adds a little unobtrusive commentary as you sail. There is a basic refreshment service offering drinks. All in all a reliable service.
Stuart W — Google review
The ferry was good and views are nice, but it was a little bit difficult to find out the departure point for the ferry as not enough information is provided online. On the website it was stated that ferries leave every hour from Kingswear Harbour to Greenway, but I couldn’t find that ferry and no one could tell me where it is leaving from. Instead I had to take a ferry to Dittisham and then another ferry from Dittisham to Greenway (had to pay separately for each ferry)
Aylara M — Google review
Wonderful trip along the Dart to Greenway. The views are magnificent, and the crew were friendly and helpful. Loses a star due to the lack of clear signage in Dartmouth, so it's difficult to find out where to wait for the boat.

We took the ferry today to Agata Chrisie house. We looked online yesterday and the website says- tickets to be purchased online or at the kiosk opposite boots. That's a misleading information. Kiosk opposite boots closed despite holiday season. It was stressful experience to look around for the tickets and the boat. We also weren't sure where to look for the boat, some helpful locals directed us. It turned out that you can buy the tickets when you enter the ferry 🙈 Trip enjoyable

It's just a lovely way to spend a few hours on the beautiful River Dart. Leave from Dartmouth quayside and sail upriver to Dittisham to enjoy a beer or lunch at the riverside pub there. Perhaps pop over to the other side of river on the little ferry and visit the National Trust property of Greenway (house of Agatha Christie). Then back to picturesque Dartmouth. Journey time each way is about 20 minutes...perfect on a sunny day.

Fortress
Sights & Landmarks
Heritage building
Historical landmark
Bayard's Cove Fort is a Tudor fortress constructed between 1522 and 1536 on a rocky river bank, offering stunning views of the Dart Estuary. It served as the last line of defense against invading vessels, equipped with heavy guns to fend off enemy ships. Today, it stands as atmospheric ruins accessible only by foot, making it an ideal destination for adventurers seeking scenic beauty and history.
The fort itself is in great condition especially being by the ocean. We accessed it via the stairs from the upper road, which can be a bit hazardous in the rain but is also accessible directly on the lower road, although there are a few steps down either side to enter the fort. Parking nearby is mostly permits or ticketed. If you drive pass the busy town shops, you’ll reach parking area which has free parking (although council is planning to implement meters in early 2024). The walk from there is about 10 minutes. Great views no doubt. This is open to the public and no tickets are required.

Beautiful spot in Dartmouth, Devon. There are information boards placed around giving a history of the area. We were lucky to visit on a gorgeous sunny day. Plenty of bars and coffee shops in local area - we thoroughly enjoyed our first visit to Dartmouth.
Denise F — Google review
This sturdy Tudor fort, built into the rock face at the far end of Bayard's Cove, is worth visiting to learn about its history, soak up the atmosphere, and enjoy the river views. It was built between 1522 and 1536 to defend the harbour against any enemy warships that managed to get past the cannon fire of Dartmouth and Kingswear Castles, and the iron chain stretched across the river that was capable of ripping a hole in the bottom of a ship. The fort is an English Heritage site, free to enter and open all year round. I accessed it from Lower Street, walking along the old stone quay. It's small inside, and now empty except for an interpretation board outlining the history, but the thick walls with their large gunports through which cannons were fired, and the view of the estuary through an archway, were well worth a look. The whole area is a delight to explore on foot, and there are numerous shops and eateries close by.
Valerie H — Google review
Walking by Lower Street, Bayard's Cove Street, and then following SW Coast Path, we can find the Bayard's Cove Fort that it was built to protect the prosperous port city from attack. It has a very strategic and picturesque location in the banks of Dart River. It is very well preserved and has wonderful views of Dart stuaries. It has all the history information in the signs on site and also another access through some stairs that connect to Southtown Street.  It is a must-see place in your visit to Dartmouth.

A truly unique and interesting place to visit. The Bayard Cove Fort is steeped in history and interesting nuggets of information. You can walk around on it, go inside it and climb up certain parts of it. Very curious spot to visit and fascinating how the rest of the town was built up around it. Definately worth a look, for the photo opportunities of nothing else!

Incredible gastronomic experience! The maître d'hôtel was very attentive and he really knew about the food that was being served. We ate a la carte and each and every dish was delicous! It is not so expensive considering the quality you get. We definitely recommend it and we will try to repeat soon!

Was really looking forward to trying this top rated restaurant but so very dissapointed. The main issue is that the restaurant has zero atmosphere, no ambiance or character at all. The service was very good and the starters were excellent. I however chose wrong and the lamb dish was not great. Meat was tough and the fat not rendered down properly. Desert was OK but not wonderful. For the price tag expected better. Shame.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had an incredible lunch at The Angel of Dartmouth today. We arrived without a booking and were warmly welcomed — the service from start to finish was faultless. The menu was so impressive, it was hard to choose! We were tempted by the set menu of the day, but ended up ordering from the à la carte and were so glad we did. I had the Brixham crab risotto to start, followed by the halibut, and my husband chose the hand-dived scallops and the Devon lamb. Every dish was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. We shared the key lime tart for dessert — the perfect end to the meal. The sommelier helped us choose wine pairings that matched each course perfectly. The food, the service, and the atmosphere were all outstanding. We enjoyed every mouthful and felt truly looked after. Highly recommend — this is a very special place.

Many thanks to Ellie and her team for the delicious birthday lunch! The new menu du jour option was a bargain we couldn’t pass up. Everything was delicious as well as beautiful. The starter Gougères were “to die for"; we just wish there had been four per couple; it’s difficult to share three. The English sparkling rosé was particularly good. We look forward to coming again!
Joan S — Google review
We had the tasting menu and enjoyed every single dish. Elly was kind enough to let us swap the duck liver course for scallop. Our favourite dish was the sea bass, with the lamb loin a close second. The service was friendly and attentive. They do a lunch deal which looks like excellent value. Lovely location, and if you get a window seat you can see all the activity going on in the harbour. If you call ahead you may be able to get a private parking spot for £10, if not, it’s worth allowing a bit of extra time to find one- there are spots where you can get 2 hours for free, but if you are having the tasting menu you may want more time. The espresso was excellent quality as were the petit fours.

Good experience at the Dartmouth Arms. They have a GF part of the menu (small but varied) but when we said about coeliac it was taken seriously. One of the crew (Jaxon) was incredibly helpful and liaised with the kitchen about our order and any changes that could be made. Children had delicious chicken fajitas (are very little thing) and had an ice lolly included. I had a burger (only beef are GF) but a good variety. Overall, recommended and we would return. They take coeliac seriously and go the extra mile.

My partner and I traveled to Devon for a weekend away. My partner suggested the Dartmouth Arms after looking online and having good reviews, we thought we’d give it a try. We came for lunch on Saturday (yesterday) around 1:30pm. We sat across from the bar. My partner went up to order our food and the female staff member, bluntly took our order and then proceeded to tell her colleague “I can’t get anything done because as soon as I try, someone needs serving” in front of my partner - who was very polite. Obviously upset he sat down and we waited for our food. He had a pulled pork burger and I had nachos. The nachos were okay but the pulled pork was really not nice. It looked and tasted like it had been microwaved and was very watery and bland. Neither of us enjoyed our food but due to the unpleasant service we experienced beforehand, we couldn’t be bothered to cause a fuss. It’s such a shame as this cost us over £40 and it wasn’t up to standards. If staff were nicer, this could’ve been a much nicer experience. We have both worked in hospitality so understand how difficult it can be on a busy hot weekend. However, we are both very friendly people and did not deserve any rudeness whatsoever. We are very disappointed.

As a frequent visitor to Dartmouth this Pub has a sketchy reputation locally. My first visit a few years ago was greeted by the rancid smell of weed outside. It became apparent that it was a member of staff indulging himself with his weed. Move forward to tonight and decided to give it another chance. Upon arriving at 9.35pm we were greeted with "done last orders and the tills". Such a shame it's being run in this way as it's one of the best located pubs in the town.

After walking around Dartmouth for a bit we stumbled across thus pub and thought we'd give it a go. So glad that we did! The beer was out of this world, Dartmouth ale is now up there in my top ten! The food was brilliant and came out in good time, I had the mackerel and it was super fresh, served with new potatoes and a nice sauce. The two young lads behind the bar were a credit to the pub, they were very attentive and also had a good bit of banter about them which is great to see. The pub is clean, well decorated and cosy. I would highly recommend and we will definitely be back

We have always liked this pub for a drink outside in good weather. Six of us had dinner there recently and we probably won't be eating there again. The ravioli was good, the seafood linguine less so. The prices are on the high side. What was really annoying was the cost of the wine. We all expect high mark-ups, but felt the price was preposterous. We should have checked before buying.

Kendricks Stoke Fleming (formerly Radius 7) is a bistro that offers locally sourced cuisine, including seafood and steak dishes. They also provide takeaway fish 'n' chips and Indonesian Rendang. While the taste of the food, particularly the beef, is impeccable, some customers have noted that the portion sizes might leave you feeling hungry. Additionally, due to packaging issues, items like poppadoms may lose their crispness.
Absolutely outstanding meal at Kendrick’s, Stoke Fleming tonight. Haven’t enjoyed a meal out like this for ages, every dish was delightful! You can tell when food has been cooked with love and care. Whoever made our food tonight, that really shone through to us! The flavours, quality and quantity 🌞🤌 The Knickerbocker Glory didn’t stand a chance. The service was friendly and relaxed. We loved it! Thank you for such a memorable meal.

The restaurant had a lovely atmosphere and you could tell customers were enjoying themselves. We were however a little disappointed with the nacho starter. We thought they would be homemade nachos and not shop bought. The ingredients on top lacked luster too, as they didn't taste fresh. They should have been put in the oven really to melt the cheese. We definitely could have recreated this at home for less than half the price. The pizza was quite nice, but again expensive for what it was. We were a little disappointed as we were enticed by the reviews and Google images to try here.

Visited from Bristol! Was an amazing suggestion and just walking distance from Blackpool beach and Wild Comfort camping. Don't usually go for pizza but asked to combine both the pesto and goat cheese, this was a great pizza. Unfortunately the Lemon Posset let it down due not being set and the grainy texture.

Local Gem! Lush barn with rustic tables, heritage walls and hanging lamps - everything is made to emphasise the beauty of a typical Devon cob building. Thoughtful menu to indulge omnivores and vegetarians alike. I had some of the most indulgent vegetarian main in my life - celeriac stake. Fish options were top notch as well. Desserts didn’t disappoint as well. Do pay a visit - very much worth it.

Booked here for Sunday lunch on way back to London. What a great decision that was. Hands down one of the best roasts I've had and I've had a lot over the past 40 years. Had ham hock scotch egg for starter which was incredible. Local pale ale was also a winner. Lady who served us was very friendly and attentive. Highly recommended. Look forward to returning there some day.
