Running Head
Mayflower Heritage Trail Dartmouth’s Mayflower Heritage Trail tells a local
story, and its relationship with the wider voyage undertaken by the Pilgrims. It paints a picture of 17th century Dartmouth, as it was when the Pilgrims sailed into the harbour in 1620. Dartmouth’s Trail is linked to the National Mayflower Trail that charts the story of the Pilgrims from their birthplaces to their settlement in the New World. The Packhorse Trail links Townstal, the original settlement to the port, and the Castle Trail that runs from Bayards Cove to Dartmouth Castle.
You can download the Mayflower Self-Guided Tours app (
www.mayflower400uk.org/app), an innovative and informative free app that provides users with free, easy to follow self-guided tours of the UK towns, cities and villages connected to the Mayflower, including the Dartmouth Town Trail.
Dartmouth’s Town Trail is marked by a series of wonderful bronze markers, created by Tom Leaper, a South West artist. Look out for these around town together with information boards such as the one at Bayards Cove. A free Trail Map leaflet, detailing the location and history of each point of interest, is available from the Dartmouth Visitor Centre and other pick up points in the town. There is also a free Children’s Quiz and Activity Booklet for the Town Trail – download from our website: www.
dartmouthmayflower400.uk or pick up from the Visitor Centre.

Look out for the sculpture, ‘Pilgrim: New Horizons’, which represents the figure of a Pilgrim looking out to sea. It was created by sculptor Mark Gregory together with students from Dartmouth Academy, and is situated on the South Embankment on the Town Trail route.
