Location description: Dartmouth is in an area of unspoilt natural beauty, surrounded by tranquil countryside with high rounded hills and steep sided valleys, lush with vegetation. The nearby spectacular coast line offers superb cliff top walks. Explore the winding country lanes and visit the many picturesque villages close by. Situated at the mouth of the River Dart, the towns greatest asset is its deep water harbour. For over 900 years sailors have set out for different parts of the world.
