Explore Dartmouth Castle
Dartmouth Castle has guarded the narrow entrance to the Dart estuary and the busy port of Dartmouth for more than 600 years. unusually incorporat- ing the fine church of st Petrox, the castle saw action during the Civil War, and contin- ued in service right up until the second World War.
Climb to the top for breathtaking views across the estuary. there’s a lovely café at the entrance and steps down to the pretty Castle Cove, which was lovingly restored by residents intent on reopening it after storm damage. Brave souls can even take a dip in the water down there. there is some parking near the castle but the best way to approach is by ferry – a ten-minute trip from the south embankment in Dartmouth.
